I go to a western third world country Sedevacantist mass. The fathers sit with the boys on one side, and the mothers with the girls on the other. The exception is small children, but the wives and husbands are always apart. No problem at all, and I suspect that our women folk are even more emotional than American women.
Do the parishioners do this willingly or does the priest demand it?  My guess is, the priest demands it.

It is not a widespread custom anymore, so I imagine that he has instructed people on this.

It was already like this when I started attending, and I have never seem people on the wrong side. New people simply see how the others are arranged and sit on their corresponding side.
