Women who wear kippot do so for a variety of reasons and our observance varies widely.
True, men are also separated from women. However, with all due respect, what bothers me about the mechitza is that the women have no access to the Torah (it is on the men's side) and are not allowed to read Torah. So this is not a case of "separate but equal" if that is even possible. Also the mechitza makes me feel objectified and exoticized.
Some women do wear peyos. Some don't. Again, this is individual choice and interpretation.
Just my 2Ìâå¢. My opinion. I know others feel similarly, however.
