Where did you get the above explanation? Not Chazal. Chazal said that Buria mocked a general statement made by the Chochomim that Nashim Da’atan Kalos. THAT was the catalyst for the subsequent tragic events. Where do you see that Buria was criticized for learning? Nowhere does it say that general principals don’t have exceptions. The opposite is, in fact, the case. Posters in this thread and others have brought ample precedent from Poskim and L’Maaseh that women (on a case by case basis) are permitted to learn Talmud.
Thats some chutzpa for you to criticize Buria for something Chazal didn’t.
