You ask provocative questions. I want to point out that the "Women Only" 
concert is very popular in more right wing Orthodox circles. It gives a 
chance for women to get out there and perform. I know some would find it a 
half baked solution to this issue, but on the other hand, at least people in 
the very strict Orthodox community are acknowledging the need for these 
Female artists to get on stage and share. If you don't think that is an 
achievement, you don't know where these people are coming from.
