Jose ben Halafta in Sepphoris, among them: * A woman shall not walk in the street while her son is behind her, owing to an incident that once happened, when immoral men kidnapped a child which was following his mother, and she was searching for him, then they lured her into a house, telling her he was there, and there assaulted her. * Women while in the closet should talk to one another for the sake of privacy from the intrusion of men, which is illegal due to the prohibition of Yichud.
