והאמר מר חביבה להן בהמתן של ישראל יותר מנשותיהן הני מילי בצינעא אבל בפרהסיא זילא בהו מילתא

Does this mean the servant of a man and not of a woman? No; it means that a slave over whom his master still has control is called a slave, but a slave over whom his master has no control is not called a slave.
