With ALL due respect to the two Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshivah, and all the posters, the discussion is NOT really one of two haskafos. If it were, then surely both “sides” should and would be given equal respect. When one “side” claim certain simanim and seifim in Shulchan Aruch and conventional peak don’t apply, the two “parties” (tarti bi’mashma) are no longer equal. Kisui Sa’aros, shoke bi’ishah tefach, ta’aroves (e.g. “negiah,” chibuk vi’nishuk, kol ishah, mechitzah, etc.), aliyah li’har ha’bayis, teaching Gemora to women, joining organizations with conservative and reform leaders, etc. We are not dealing here with a machlokes Tana’im, Amora’im, Rishonim, or Achronim.
