If only Chareidim rode these buses they should be accommodated. But non-Chareidi women ride the buses too.
I think we need to agree on the set of facts which we are working with. Until then, it is a bizarre discussion.
As I am aware, these buses serve chareidi neighborhoods almost exclusively, and there are always other options. The lady who made herself famous a couple weeks ago was doing it b’davka to make a story.
So what makes the Chareidim stronger that their being insulted “Halachically” is more important than the women being insulted?
It really isn’t. And that is why I would never support their forcing it on all other bus lines. Which they haven’t.
Also, I’m not really sure any woman was ever actually insulted except because some moron told her that she should feel insulted. Nobody is trying to insult them; they should very easily understand.
However, I am willing to accept that feeling insulted should still be somewhat respected even when the feeling is illegitimate.
