RMB: Why not? If my plucking gray hairs could be beged ishah..."


Me: IOW, if a woman was wearing a cape that was clearly made for, and worn by, women only such that it would be an issur for men to wear it, if it was altered to have four corners it would still be a women's garment unless she put tzitzit on it which would then transform it into a beged ish which neither she nor a man could wear? Sounds strange to me.
