Do you always qualify halachic opinions you share with a disclaimer “but other rabbis disagree”?
(i.e. “Don’t use the eruv in Flatbush. But other rabbis disagree.”)
Baloney. That’s what you’re hiding behind?
You could have said “some groups don’t allow women to drive” or “there are opinions that a woman shouldn’t drive.” The way you phrased it, it was clearly meant as an absolute.
If asked about the eruv, I would say “there are some people who don’t use the eruv” or “there are different opinions about it.” If you asked me what I, personally do, I would say “I don’t use the eruv, but there are many that do.”
(Cue the Joseph line that I’m a tazaddik and a lamed-vovnik…)
