I didn't refuse to discuss it. As I noted above, I'm skeptical that the people behaved properly, but still I respect them for trying to practice their religion.
I tend to agree with the following comment from Chicago Tribune article 2014-10-01:

Orthodox Jews separate the sexes in various circumstances in order to avoid social situations that could bring about violations of Jewish law, said Rabbi Yosef Posner of Lubavitch Chabad of Skokie.
But "within Orthodoxy is a whole spectrum of levels of intensity; there are some whose social conventions are more stringent than others," he said. He himself does not ask fellow airplane passengers to change their seats to avoid sitting next to a woman.
