1. I don’t know why you are equating making a psak of daas torah, with going against halacha. The Chazon Ish does not say that, and that is not the case.

2. I still think you are understanding this in a funny way. As I noted earlier, I am not going against the shulchan aruch. I agree that in dinei mezuman a woman can make a mezuman, and I also say that a woman who does so because she feels that otherwise women don’t have an equal opportunity in Judiasm is a rashanta and is attacking Hashem. There is no contradiction, and I am curious where you see one.

3. Who is making gzeiros? I am not. I am not making any issur–I am merely saying that having an ideology where one tries to fit the Torah into one’s own thinking instead of trying to fit one’s own thinking into the Torah, is apikorsus and an attack on the Torah. It simply follows that the actions one does in furtherance of that are maaseh rishus. That is quite different from making a gzeira.

4. I was making assumptions about you, I don’t recall specific instances where you espoused that opinion. And since you disavow it, you should in this instance follow the opinion of rubam k’kulam of the gedolim that these practices are pure rishus and a chillul Hashem. And if any rav disagrees, you should disavow him as well.
