Wow I missed alot… just replying in order till the next time…

Avira,

“ CS, there are two halachik reasons why we don’t teach Torah to women, and neither have anything to do with their domestic responsibilities or chazals time and place.

The first reason is that they make Torah into divrei havai.

The second reason, in the yerushalmi, is that they’re easier to persuade than men to do an averah, and Torah makes one able to be tricky if they choose, so that’s a dangerous combination.

My argument is according to the first reason. ”

Firstly, this is mostly non applicable today, as noted, Torah Shebichsav is studied by virtually all from girls schools and endorsed by Rabbonim. Ok to varying degrees. Some allow more than others. Not sure why you’re picking on something mostly irrelevant Today.

Secondly it was never a blanket rule or else Rashi would not have taught his daughters, Tge Or HaChaim HaKadosh wouldn’t have written his peirush (based on shiurim with his daughters) etc etc.

The Alter Rebbes grandmother learned Gemara and taught her daughter to also. Apparently the people following the path of the mekubalim (which preceded Chassidus) allowed it, and the opponents of kabala didn’t. I’m sure you know this was way before Sara schenirer.
