Curiosity:
So what role are they violating by answering halachic questions?
As to your other point, semicha is simply a test on halacha. Now it happens to be that it is very likely that the majority of people getting semicha, are probably not doing it in order to be able to answer halachic questions. Two obvious reasons why someone would want semicha are 1)in order to get a job as a Rebbe – sort of like a college degree 2)to have something to show for (either themselves or others) their many years in yeshiva. Now it’s a bit circular to say that no one would give semicha to someone who (by desiring semicha) is going against Torah and Mesorah, until you demonstrate that it is actually going against Torah and Mesorah. I don’t think you have yet done so. As I said earlier, the mere fact that something hasn’t been done, doesn’t make it wrong. See also the various sources which I quoted earlier in this thread, starting from:
But anyway, I never suggested that any of those yeshivos should ordain women.
