For a different perspective, see Zies Ra'anan (Magen Avraham) on Yalkut Shemoni, Shmuel 1:1; Maharal, Tiferes Yisroel 28; Rambam and Barentura on Mishnah Horiyos 3:7; Vilna Gaon, Even Shelaima 1:8.

I have been asked for an elaboration. The Magen Avraham, Zies Rananan, Yalkut Shimoni, Shmuel 1:1 says women are exempt from positive time bound commandments because their yetzer TOV is SMALLER and if commanded they would likely not comply.

This is apologetics. R' Hirsch says that men and women are equal:

"In the word איש and אשה lay the guarantee for the equality in rank and mutually complementing calling of Man and Woman. As long as man and woman were איש and אשה. there was no need for man to be emancipated from woman nor woman from man, neither could make the other into a slave nor yet into a god or goddess. The first who altered this designation - as indeed our sages remark, in no other language are man and woman designated by words coming from the same root and so regarded from the same trend of thought - brought it about that one man would yoke his woman to the plough while the other would throw himself at her feet." Genesis 11:58

"While fully appreciating the special and deeply implanted characteristics of the female sex, the Sages also attribute to it complete spiritual and intellectual equality with the male. In the very words with which the formation of man by the hands of God is proclaimed וייצר ה' אלקים את האדם, they find an indication that the formation of both male and female is on the same footing.  יצירה לאדם יצירה לחוה (Genesis R. 14) " Judaism Eternal II (New York: Soncino, 1976) p. 95
