So a woman is smart enough to be a doctor or a lawyer or judge (Judge Rachel Freier) but cant understand a chakira? Do you believe she does not posses the intellectual capacity to process a diyuk in the Rishonim? 300 years ago no one would approve of Beis Yaakov, yet some how when the time called for it, we reinterpreted tiflus to make it OK. Was the Mechaber commenting on women’s biological intellectual inferiority or was he talking about the illiterate women of his time. Times change and metzios changes. The question is was that a halachik statement that is fixed forever or was it an observation for his times and now clearly the metzios is different. Are you open to considering other approaches or are you trolling for action?
