<DIV>This doesn't really answer his question. His question -- if I
understand it -- is, Why doesn't the Gemara say women can't get aliyos because
they are not obligated in kriyas haTorah? Why does it give what would seem
to be a secondary reason -- kovod habrios -- and not what seems to be the
primary reason?</DIV>
