Musar for Shabbat 296:4
וכן אשה מחבירתה ככרות: בשבת הוא דאסיר אבל בחול שפיר דמי לימא מתני' דלא כהלל דתנן וכן היה הלל אומר לא תלוה אשה ככר לחבירתה עד שתעשינה דמים שמא יוקרו חטין ונמצאו באות לידי רבית
Yet that is not so: there is no difference between a Rabbinical and a Scriptural law. For lo! the addition to the Day of Atonement is Scriptural,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The fast must begin before the Day of Atonement actually commences, and this is deduced from Scripture; v. Yoma 81b. ');"><sup>6</sup></span> yet we see them [women] eat and drink until it is dark and do not rebuke them.
Orchot Tzadikim
And they said: Just as it is a commandment to say a thing that will be heard, so is it a commandment not to say a thing that will not be heard (Yebamoth 65b). And our Sages said, "Better that they (the sinners) should commit a wrong not knowing that it is a wrong, than that they should commit that wrong intentionally" (Shabbath 148b).
