Commentary for Berakhot 40:4
ומן התפלין: פשיטא מהו דתימא הואיל ואתקש למזוזה קמ"ל:
And from Tefillin. This too is evident ! Thou mightest say that since Tefillin are to be compared with Mezuzah [they should be obligatory upon women] ; therefore it informs us [they are exempt].
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
The law of Tefillin (Deut. vi. 8) is immediately followed by the law of Mezuzah (ibid. v. 9) ; the inference might therefore be drawn that they are identical in scope of obligation.
