Reply To: Does The YWN Coffee Room Need a Mechitza

I don’t think this kind of virtual intermingling would fly in E.Y.
In America we’re so used to mixed gender offices it seems normal. Really, men & women should not be casually chatting together even virtually. A recent study showed that the members of the opposite gender in an office the higher the risk of divorce. My concern is that this innocent chit chat is eroding the healthy barriers that once existed between the genders among erlicher yidden.
