Yekke: I was reading through some of Joseph’s claims on pages 8-9. Wow, there is so much to respond to those but no real purpose. Just for you, though, see the Aruch Hashulchan on Bedikas Chametz by women. See also the Ritva in Kesubos on Ein Eisha Me’iza Paneha for proof that social/societal/even emotional assumptions from Chazal’s time can change. (Granted, though, it is much, much tougher to say that Lehakel than Lehachmir like in his case.)
