“. I think Joseph has given ample proofs that what he’s talking about is a halachic shittah”
Sorry, but as a I quoted, even Rav Wosner agrees there is absolutely NO proof of any “Halachik” status to say it is Asur (he quotes one that seemed to have compared it to the Gemarah in beg. of Pesachim wherein it states that it is not the custom of a woman to ride a donkey, which has long been disputed…). The only Isur is just as a Tekaneh for practicality and the above etc, but not any Halachik status.
