I appreciate your flexibility on norms. Elsewhere, I have noticed some neo-traditionalists with their knickers high over various norms, particularly concerning women in the liturgy. But based on your example, I intend to be careful not to stereotype.

Again, that's not because it's a norm, it's because it is contrary to tradition and to some extent Scripture. I'm familiar with trads getting upset about various things, but the root cause is never because it violates a current norm, in my experience.
I have never heard of Byzantines (or any Oriental Rite) traditionally using women as lectors or acolytes. Cantors, yes, but that is generally considered acceptable in the Latin Rite as well.

Your suggesting the Byzantines are "to some extent " against Scripture?
