Gadol, don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Not many, if any, said anything about women not leaving the house. That’s a pet peeve of yours that you fight with ujm about here on a weekly basis, but that’s not what the gedolim have stressed after tragedies.
The chofetz chaim would always say that international tragedies are reminders from Hashem for us to do teshuva. And it wasn’t his chidush; the gemara says it openly – “punishments only come to the world because of yisroel” – the vilna gaon writes a lot about this too. It’s Hashem’s way of reminding us what is fitting to happen to us, but because of His mercy He metes out punishment on goyim instead(who, of course, are deserving in their own right)
When tragedies happen, whether personal, communal, national, or international, the response of every gadol and manhig from literally ever to denomination of klal yisroel has been to see it as a fall for teshuva. What kind of teshuva? That’s where it gets complicated. But teshuva it is. The rambam says that when tragedy strikes and we don’t acknowledge it as being a heavenly punishment and call to teshuva, we are called cruel, because we xause only more suffering to happen.
And chumash says this very openly in the tochacha.
Forget about women being out on Coney Island Avenue. Take tragedies as a reminder to do teshuva for whatever personal shortcomings you – like everyone else – have.
