I have not seen this done in many, many years and I'm an old dude. Seperate seating was common in many churches, not just Baptist, in the 17th and 18th Centuries. It was common in places in the US maybe as late as the 1940's. This practise was intended to keep the worship pure. They felt that intermixing the sexes would be distracting to worship and cause some to sin by looking on a woman.

Because the Halakah requires the men and women to sit separately.
