It's not a question of women not being allowed to pray the way they want. Hindu sentiments and values/beliefs have become playthings with people like you, as you have no stake whatsoever.
I am of the view that people of a particular faith should follow that faith and mind their business. They should exercise restraint when it comes to a matter of other religions of which they are ignorant; shouldn't poke their nose unnecessarily without sufficient knowledge.
For eg., I have seen people enter a church with their footwear on, but such a thing is unthinkable in a temple. You don't know the value of Hindu beliefs. One shouldn't talk about the things one does not know about. Please bear this in mind in the times to come. It will save you a lot of trouble.
