Sikh feminism ruled a misunderstanding. Any man or woman is welcome in the Temple and accepted in all prayers and recitations of the Guru Granth Sahib. Every Temple has a Langar (kitchen) where people of any gender and from any faith, ethnicity or cultural background, are welcome to a free vegetarian meal. Everyone eats on the floor together to show social equality. Despite the fact it is not prohibited for men and women to sit together, traditionally they still sit on opposite of the congregation in the Darbar Sahib Hall (main hall), both equal distances from the Guru Granth Sahib.
