Also, re, rebbe yochanan – the literal reading of the gemara sounds like the almanah taught him the concept of schar pesios; i find that very hard to believe.
So i think pshat in the gemara is like this; rebbe yochanan said we learned yiras Hashem from the besulah who davened that men not stumble because of her(a lesson indeed for women today who walk around dressed to the 9s with makeup and long shaitels “for mysefl”), and the reception of schar from an almamah who went to a further -away shul to daven – rebbe yochanan was saying that of course a man would do that, but a woman, who is not obligated to go to shell, would go out of her way… that’s a new leason in kibul schar, in how a person should go to great lengths to receive schar.
Note how rebbe yochanan does not say we learned schar pesios from the almanah.
