Nashim Da’aton Kalos… Imho, to answer the questions posed

Lan”d

She obviously disagreed, and thought that she was an exception to the rule. The problem is this statement has nothing to do with intellect, or piety, it is of the nature of a woman that Chazal made this statement. The only way to prove this to an intellectual person who claims that they are an exception to the rule is to prove it through them.

Obviously the outcome wasn’t predictable or it would have been assur to test her. If it was a woman testing her, she probably would’ve figured suicide was real possibility, but given the different thought process and reaction of male vs. female, one could not find this choice feasible. Ask any guy if that’s what he would do.

I hope I am being clear.
