You're right; but I was also sways by examples of the reverse -- cases
where they are peturos even though they aren't zeman gearama. I see the
gemara in Eruvin 27a lists 6 exception:

chayavos, even though zeman gerama:
    matzah, simchah and hallel
    As RSM noted, Rambam AZ 12:2 adds qiddush on Shabbos, but doesn't
    have Hallel.

peturos, even though not zeman gerama:
    talmud Torah, piryah verivyah, pidyon haben.
    and implied in the discussion of PvR is also that they are not
    mechuyavos in kibush
    And from kibush we get to zekhiras mechiyas Amaleiq

Are women obligated to teach their sons a profession?

We also discussed recently semichah and tenufah where women are peturos.
The Ritva says that this is because they are makhshirim, not the gemar
mitzvah. In which case, there would be numerous other makhshirim where
one could say the same thing..

Tir'u baTov!
