Joseph: GHD: Which part of it did you not “concur” with? The Rabbeinu Tam, the Rishonim, the Gemorah, the Mordechai, the Beis Yosef, the Yaavetz or the Chasam Sofer?

When I saw your post I realized that I forgot to write – I don’t think this is an accepted Halachah. I haven’t been into the sugya properly, but the Rishonim reject the Rabbeinu Tam’s view – largely on account of the Gemara in Sukkah 8 which is mefurash that סוכת גנב”ך is Kosher. The Mordechai’s mehalech (that it is only lechatchila) isn’t consistent with the Rabbeinu Tam’s view elsewhere that even בדיעבד, tzitzis made by women are פסול. The Yaavetz’ mehalech is also very shver from Gemara’s which are משמע that סוכת גנב”ך refers to a Sukkah built by a woman, not for a women.

Yekke: It was minimally a partial refutation of the quote of his you bolded “Women can build a sucah…”

You’ll have to learn the difference one day between refuting a view and nitpicking on an example. Gadolhadorah’s view saying that women are as manly as men, and there is no reason to stereotype. I wasn’t getting involved in debating gender roles, stereotypes and feminism in Mitzvos. It just reminded me of the tzad that a woman cannot built a Sukkah, which I posted. Gadolhadorah was justified in sardonically point out the relevance [and lack thereof] to this thread.
