RnCL and RYG pointed out that ROY does not say this.  However, my 
understanding is there are poskim (I'm not sure who) that take exactly 
the position RnTK suggests: women can read for men, but not with trop.

I was discussing this with someone and he pointed out that no such 
caveat exists in the SA, which he took to imply that the SA would hold 
that the trop is not a problem.  I questioned this conclusion.

So here's my question: do those who hold that in such a case a woman 
should not use trop consider themselves to be cholek on the SA, or do 
they hold that the SA would have agreed with them, and simply felt it 
was obvious enough that it didn't need to be explicitly mentioned in 
that sif?
