interjection:
1. I don’t learn because I crave knowledge; I learn because Hashem told me to. So we do so for different reasons.
2. “Women have just as strong a craving for knowledge as do men.” You assert that as if it is self fulfilling truth. It may be true, and it may not be–you have no idea, nor do I. It also is not really relevant to the discussion; women can want to know even if their craving is more or less.
3. You are asking why it should become forbidden because others are doing it for heretical reasons. I don’t feel like answering that question right now; it is a bit off topic.
