Matan, I wrote about other things in addition to the seating arrangement at the table in that video. But, yes, mixed seating can be assur depending on the context, besides for the other things I posted about.
anon1m0us, to anyone who has not “modernized” halacha to fit their agenda, it was an aveira, not hashkafa. And I was not choshed anyone, as I wrote. The video footage was not some mirage; it was clear and it was clearly inappropriate and therefore not under “Eilu ViEilu”, MO fallacies not withstanding.
And there are other examples I posted, which you continue to ignore because you have no answer for them because they are absolutely against halacha. Although I do respect your Rabbanim and I can’t answer you why your Rabbanim permit this to go on, that respect does not permit anyone else in condoning issurim that are violated, which includes the examples I quoted, one of which is this video, despite what happens under the watch of those Rabbanim.
The purpose is not to bash MO, as I have repeatedly stated. The purpose is to distinguish between MO ideology and traditional Orthodox ideology. The few examples I’ve brought clearly bear this out (not to mention Zionism and the rest).
Once again, I respect your choice to be MO, but please don’t misrepresent MO as traditional Orthodoxy or Eilu ViEilu, CH”V, because permitted aveiros do not come under the rubric of Eilu ViEilu.
