I have yet to understand our grounds for not requiring it. Strict lomdus
would say that since men and women are equally mechuyavim, and since there
is a problem breaking up a zimun once formed, there would be a problem
with women not making a zimun among themselves or combined with men.

I know the argument of tzeni'us, I just fail to see how it's sufficient
to overcome the above sevara.

(Asking just theoretically, of course. Not like my wife and daughters would
listen to me even if I meant it pragmatically.... <grin>)

:-)BBii!
