Feivel, if thats the case, why don’t we demand the proper respect for a Beis Medrash? I’ve heard MANY stories about them that don’t show that we are treating them properly. In fact, from what I’ve heard about the Stern Beis Medrash shows a lot more respect than most men seem to. If you find the term Beis Medrash offensive, feel free to insert word of your choice (Ames chose library – thats fairly appropriate). The term doesnt matter so much – its about creating a proper learning environment.
You obviously have no adequate response for understanding why a woman would want to learn…
