Thanks for the support, Joseph.
Would you care to bring sources for the sweeping statements you just made?
Gavra, I also know how to lein megillah and have done so twice on Purim (only one perek the first year, three prakim the second year.) I even did so in a mixed setting because men and women have equal obligations to hear the megillah read and can therefore equally participate in its reading- unless, of course, you hold that kriat megillah falls under the category of kol isha, which I don’t.
