Tiaras of women’s responsibility for killing Amalek

Hello Rabbi.
I was talking to someone about the Habanez’s answer to the contradiction in education regarding women being obligated to support Amalek and exempting them from the Seven Nations War.
I told him that in my opinion these things are delusional. But when I had to explain why, I didn’t really have the words… It’s clear to me that all the chatter is just a game. But the truth is, I’m not clear where exactly the mistake is. Can you enlighten me (assuming you agree that the ABNZ’s answer is quite strange)

Just as gossip is an artistic matter, the distinction between what is and isn’t gossip is not a sharp one and is a matter of taste and feeling. It is difficult to define sharply, and the better the gossip, the more difficult the distinction. He relies on the requirement of the Tema D’Kra (when he says that killing seven people is a sin). There is no hint of this in the education that usually explains the exemption of women. In his version, there is no hint of this explanation. If the goal is the result (getting rid of them), then there is room to say that women are obligated regardless of the time of the ritual.

Thanks. By the way, can you point me to a piece of utter nonsense? Something that would serve as a good example for me.

Stupid chatter? What's the point? Kind chatter: If a four-winged garment that requires a tzitzit is exempt from a mezuzah, a door frame that is exempt from a tzitzit is exempt from a mezuzah.
