My son Shuby said something interesting to me over lunch today. Shuby is a very cute nine-year-old little boy with Downs. His ability to actually articulate the words isnt caught up with his ability to decide what to say, so our conversations involve some checking what he was trying to say, some signing, etc

After I gave him his food, Shuby said Thank you, maam. I explained that Im a man, and maam is only for women. If he wanted to add anything, the word should be sir.

Shuby then said something, and signed davening  hands holding siddur and shuckling.

Checking, I asked / translated, I go to shul because Im a man?

No, Shuby explained, Daddy is a man cause he goes to shul.

The line of reasoning he awakened seems quite sound.

Its not that women are pardoned from the obligation of attending minyan. Its that souls of which G-d wants to obligate in minyan that He makes as men.
