Barry Epstein asked:
The gemara says that the stringencies of a male and female are where she is tamei for 14 days (the max)and tahor for 26 days (the minimum). But it seems that this could be a leniency as she gets to eat kodashim sooner than either of the 2 choices by themselves!

The Kollel replies:
It is a stringency to give her 14 days of Tum'ah with just 26 days of Taharah. She does not get to eat Kodashim sooner; since she still must wait until the end of the 80 days.
