Reform is barely Jewish, for what it's worth
Reform doesn't express any requirement to even wear a kippah so I'd be shocked if those Unitarians bothered. I can sort of understand the RCC's position filtered through the experience of Judaism. You give an inch they take a mile. There's no such thing as a formal or strict Judaism that admits woman on an egalitarian basis for the most part, in Reform. In Masorti or Conservative there is, more or less but for the most part once you bend in one area you have to bend in all of them and in short measure religion takes a back seat to the ASPCA, save Darfur, divorce workshops and the whole self help Oprah-fication of everything, to the detriment of the very religion that hosts it.
