I don’t agree with the first part of your post. How do we have the right to assume that other areas of performance are related to learning TSBP? That’s not a machlokes in metziys, that’s an assumed metzius based on extrapolation, with a huge “meiheicha teisi”.
As far as applying it, we do it the same as historically was done. As I understand it, we don’t encourage it, yet, we don’t stop a woman who is so inclined, but we don’t go out of our way to help.
