Quoting Jewish Action mag, paraphrased:
Sarah Schenirer in her autobiography described a gap between girls and their families in her Chassidic community. While Schenirer saw boys and men involved in intense Jewish learning and spending the yamim tovim gaining spiritual inspiration from their rebbe, she viewed women’s religious lives as empty. She is quoted as saying, “We stay at home, the wives, the daughters with the little ones. We have an empty yom tov. It is bare of Jewish intellectual concentration.”
I can see the benefit of men gathering for chizuk on Shabbos (especially if the Shalosh Seudos meal is outside the prayer hall!), but what about the wives and daughters? And then there is Yom Tov when many Chassidim leave their families to go to the Rebbe. And not all places have Shabbos afternoon groups, and not all women have where to go for Yom Tov.
I can see both sides, but is this even addressed as a religious question or just as a discomfort?
