[Avodah] women leaning at Seder

[Doron Beckerman]

RSZA explains that in reality it isn't derech cheirus for anyone to lean
today, as per the Raavyah. . The other Rishonim hold that nevertheless the
Takanas Chazal was not cancelled.

Since men *uniformly* leaned in the time of Chazal, they can't make use of
what should be the baseline Halachah - like the Raavyah. They are bound by
the Takanas Chazal. But for women, who did not *all* lean in the times of
Chazal, since many were subservient, there is no Chazal-dated established
uniform minhag of women leaning, so, despite all being chashuvos
*today*, they can rely on the Raavyah lechatchila, who says that *today* it
isn't Derech Cheirus at all.
