If the LOR says its ok, then it does fall within what is halachically acceptable. If the LOR poskins I'm not going to second guess his knowlege of a community or halacha. Allowed, well if it is Halachically ok, then yes. Maybe men should learn from how women pray for a change. I suspect the intention is Ahavat Yisrael, but the words may not be conveying it.
