anon for this, Actually the Egyptians when enslaving us, when they forced Jewish men to do women’s jobs and Jewish women to do men’s jobs, did not give work that the men and women were incompetent for. The men forced to do (women’s) kitchen work and the women forced to do (men’s) work, were given tasks they could complete. Nevertheless it was humiliating that men were doing women’s work and women men’s work.
oomis, I looked up the Torah Temimah that mosherose referred to, and this is what the Torah Temimah (R. Boruch Epstein) wrote: Girls do not have the intellectual stability and are, therefore, unable to make profound inquries with a sharp mind and appreciate the depth of the Torah. It is possible thay by using their own minds, they will transgress the Torah. Also in the Tur (Yoreh Deah 246, 15) he wrote: Most women’s minds are not geared toward being taught… (Then he describes the minority who are.) The Gemara (in Kidushin 80b) states that that women are lightheaded. And Rashi (Mishna Sotah 20a) says that women’s minds are not meant for serious Torah learning. (Rashi says if they do learn, it will lead to immorality.) The Rambam agrees with Rashi’s take. And the Shulchan Aruch follows this approach of Rambam. So I’m afraid your disagreement is with Chazal (the Gemorah) and the meforshim (Rashi, Torah Temimah) and poskim including SA and Tur. (But hey, let me guess the comeback… the Gemorah/Rashi/Shulchan Aruch/etc. no longer apply since time changes? [Maybe the women of 100 years ago were different.] Where have we heard that before…)
