What is the evidence that the Friday bath is not obligatory for a woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the evidence that the Friday bath is not obligatory for a woman, even though the context is general:
is obligatory for everyone who has reached the age of puberty واجب على كل محتلم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1371Sahih (Darussalam)
?

The Shaykh : The evidence is in his saying:
When any one of you comes for Friday إذا أتى أحدكم الجمعة
Sunan Abi Dawud 340Sahih (Al-Albani)
,

The questioner : Let us suppose she came?

The Shaykh : The norm is that those who are commanded and addressed regarding attendance are the men, whereas for women, it is better for her to be in her home. It is not obligatory for her, and I do not think anyone has said it is obligatory for the woman.
