” This is why I feel that certain women should be allowed to learn gemera because chances are the ones who are interested in learning it are more intellect based “
Far east – first of all, the Torah obligated men to learn Torah, not women. We can’t say halacha should be that emotional men shouldn’t learn based on our perception of the reasoning behind the Torah’s laws, which are absolutes. Hashem said all men must learn, so all men must learn.
With regards to women learning, there is no real reason for them to learn Torah except to know the halacha that applies to them. With regards to your statement quoted above, I would say that first of all you shouldn’t decide what the halacha is based on how you feel (which chazal say is a tendency of women, and one of the reasons why they shouldnt learn) – ask a rav.
Second, I disagree with your presumption. Chances are, most women who are interested in Torah are not “intellect based”. It’s far more likely that they either have feminist motivations – trying to be “equal to men” (which is flawed thinking, as I explained earlier), or they are just curious to learn what they perceive as forbidden knowledge. Ironic because I’m not a woman, but chazal tell us women are much more curious than men, and telling them not to learn Torah is like leaving them in an empty room with a big red button in the middle of it and telling them to “not push the red button”.
Furthermore, even if you go with the poskim who say it’s muttar for a woman to learn gemara, and even if you are discussing a woman that is doing it for the “right reasons” (ie: doing a mitzva), then she should first realize that it’s more imperative for a person to do a mitzva that s/he IS commanded than one that s/he is NOT commanded. Neglecting a mitzvah that is a chiyuv to do a mitzva that is reshus is an aveira. Women have many mitzvas that they are obligated to do within their role as captains of the home. Even simple chores like doing the dishes, feeding the kids, doing laundry, which are not “mandatory mitzvas”, add to shalom bayis and are therefore mitzvas. Shalom bayis is a bigger mitzvah than the mitzvah for a woman to learn gemara, even according to the poskim who mattir it, because one is metzuveh and one is eino metzuveh. Therefore, it follows that if a woman uses her time to learn gemara when she could be doing things that increase shalom bayis, raising her children, or tending to her husband, she may be doing an aveira.
