Interesting Psak: male sinners teaching women
Someone asked Rav Bentzion Mutzafi how he can get started in giving shiurim to women. He was looking for direction. It was not even a halachic question - just saying what he intended to do and asking for some direction.

They should have a female lecturer who will prepare a week in advance with midrashim, mussar, and words of Chazal, and she should present them to the women.
