benignuman: The verbiage you suggest seemingly leaves the door open to women receiving smicha and becoming rabbis.

PAA: I’m not sure why you’d cite Rav Moshe to try to make your case. Rav Moshe said women cannot don a talis, even though m’ikur hadin they are not prohibited, because the motivation is feminism. If that weren’t the case here with becoming a rabbi/getting smicha, why would they be seeking such a position after thousands of years where it didn’t exist?
