Of whom exactly are these groups disrespectful?

God? I find it hard to imagine that God has a problem with anyone davening:
men or women, alone or in a group.

Women? Can't see why women would have a problem with women davening ...

Men? Why should they care? Prayer, like air, isn't a finite thing; it
doesn't take anything from men if women daven, any more than if they breathe.

Farm animals? (I'm kidding).
