This question asks about Yuhara - religious haughtiness - in general. In the current answer it discusses issues of one-upmanship on one's Rebbe or local Rabbis being a special concern.
How is this evaluated for women? For example, the Ramo says women shouldn't put on a Tallis (Orach Chaim 17:2) because of Yuhara. However, a woman wearing one would not have such a denigrating effect, because the Rabbis are all wearing one.
The Pischei Teshuva says in reference to Rabbeinu Tam Tefillin that when most "Tofsei Torah" (Those who Grasp Torah, whatever that means exactly) and a few of the "Baal Habbatim" (general people) do it, then it is not an issue. That again (of course that is the context there - Teffilin) seems to be a very male oriented survey.
So how is it evaluated for women?
