Reply To: Proof that Women are Better than Men

Haleivi:

Cute. But now that you mention it, we can use a similar thing to answer the question that FriendInFlatbush didn’t ask but is similar to what he did ask. The mishnah in Sukkah also says that an ??? is patur. Which should disprove my whole proof. So we have to bring in the Gemara in Sanhedrin (58b):

???? ??? ???? ??? ????? ????? ????? ???? ??? ?? ???? ??? ???? ???? ????? ???? ??? ??? ??? ?? ???? ???

So we see that an ??? can change into an ???, and once he is no longer an ??? he is no longer ???? and therefore needs the separate p’tur.
