Sam2 -“#1: I don’t think so. B’nei Yisrael V’lo B’nos Yisrael doesn’t create an Issur. It’s explaining who the Chiyuv is on. And since women aren’t Mechuyav in Tzitzis, they are not capable in creating a Lishmah for making the Tzitzis. That doesn’t mean they aren’t M’kayim a Mitzvah K’einah Metuvah V’osah if they do it though.”
Sorry, you missed my point. I never meant or said it’s a Issur for them. As a matter of fact I quoted the Rema who says they can wear. What I was saying was for s/o to pick Tzitzis as the Mitzva Asey Sh’hazman Groma that they want to keep, which acc. to the Drosha I brought down -is a Mitzva that they are Mufka from, logically points to a women who’s doing it for feminism, not L’shem Shomayim.
“#2: You’re right. According to the Mishnah B’rurah, nowadays when everyone (especially women) are much more Makpid on hygiene there is no reason to be Mocheh a woman who wears Tefillin L’Sheim Mitzvah (according to my M’halach that I got from my Rebbe’im, however, there still would be).
#3: A Machlokes Haposkim doesn’t inherently create a Safek. It could just be that her Rov Paskens like those who hold that it’s not Begged Ish.”
Again you missed my point. First of all, I once asked this question here on YWN about does a Machlokes make it into a Sofek D’oraysa and hello99 answered that acc. to R’ Moshe Ztl – it actually does. Anyways, until his answer I did think like you, but even so let’s analyze this. Her Rov Paskens that it’s Not an Issur D’oraysa and like the Rema says she can put on Tzitzis for a Mitzva even though she isn’t Mechuyav in it. Why if she is doing this L’shem Shomayim would she do something that even one Shitta (maybe more) holds it’s Ossur D’oraysa?
Again, this points to her doing it for Feminism, not because she will get some Mitzva out of it!
