Thus Rashi’s understanding of the braisa is that a woman’s chiyuv of Birchas Hamazon is d’rabanan. We’re supposed to be attempting to read the braisa according to the opinion that a woman’s chiyuv is d’oraisa (or a safek). Rashi’s understanding of “??? ????” by Birchas Hamazon is assuming that women are only d’rabanan.
