That's THIS VERY Rambam.

My mistake for getting you mixed up. The HM isn't commenting on
Tzitzis - that part is my "chiddush"... that there's a "good reason"
why women didn't wear Tzitzis over the generations.

The HM was commenting IIUC why the Rambam talks about women wearing
Tzitzis but not Tefillin.

I can't find the HM on Sefria, or I'd link to it.
