Well, my objection is that I have decided to become a chovevei-nik, and therefore I follow Conservative Judaism, and Saul Lieberman paskened it is assur.
I have read the teshuva. He says that it is assur to call a woman the title “rav” or “rabbi” because it denotes being kosher as a dayan and they are not.
What can I say? Benignuman convinced me on the other thread and now I’m convinced.
Lemme see if I can find it online. I did, the Hirhurim blog has it in english–google “saul lieberman women rabbi” and it will come up.
