I have heard both Rav Shimshon Pincus zatsal & Rav Matisyahu Salomon shlita, yibadel l’chaim quoted as saying that it is more important for women than for men since the woman is the mainstay of the home, and whatever she is exposed to affects the entire home.
They are both more than welcome to say whatever they want. Unless they have a source (?), I believe they only said so in order that women should not think they can do whatever they want from a Hashkafic standpoint, since “Al Pi Halacha” the Issurim are very limited.
Without an actual source showing me where the Issur D’Oraysa is (as exists for men), I don’t buy it. If you can bring an actual source in Rishonim, I’m certainly willing to be Chozer.
It goes back to the “four types of Tznius” post. A woman can say Kriyas Shema in front of anything except Oso Makom itself, and even then if a woman is sitting it is muttar. As these are all not “Erva” for a woman, there is no reason to think that any of the other issues apply.
