That's really disturbing. And I'm sorry that happened to you. How awful. Though if you had reported it, odds are the investigation would have been really frustrating and unsatisfactory. :/
One of the things that awakened me to radical feminism, I think, was learning about modesty laws in Judaism that exist because women shouldn't distract men with their voices or bodies by singing or wearing pants, because men can't control themselves. I was (and still am) outraged: if the men can't control themselves and the women can, why aren't the restrictions on *them*? And this is why I will never go to an orthodox synagogue.
