yitayningwut & sam2 -You’re both saying the same thing -that a Minhag can take precedence over Din. What I’m saying -Who said it was ever a Minhag? The places that didn’t have the women fast was because they were Meikel with women, not because of some Alte Minhag. So if you can be Mevaer which women nowadays can have a Heter and which can’t, I see no reason to be Meikel, in spite of the fact you keep screaming Minhag!
