Regarding how a woman can trust herself; we’re talking about women who grew up and/or lived with talmidei chachamim, whether it’s their fathers, brothers, or husbands. They pick up things in learning. But I don’t think any woman alive today, save maybe for some yerushalmis or people in kiryas yoel, can say that they’re clean of secular influences to the point where they can reasonably say that they won’t make such errors…and even so, it was only exceptional women bzman chazal…i don’t think anyone today would be considered on that level.
