Let the women pray


The Rambam said its okay for women to wear talitot and he said any man who doesn't like it should STFU. Here are his words:
Women... who wish to wear tzitzit may do so without a blessing Similarly, all other positive commandments from which women are exempt, if they wish to perform them they do so without a blessing, and they are not condemned.
So if you want to be fair and accommodating and non-monist while celebrating diversity and respecting other approaches you can hang your hat on the Rambam. OK? And nothing bad will happen. I promise. The Rambam said to let them alone, so after 120 years you can put the blame on him, should God ask you why you sat their silently without protesting while happy women blessed His name in public.

The fact that so many Orthodox Jews choose, instead, to be militantly obnoxious about this is something we all must mourn.
