Bemused- I’ll wait for cantoresq to chime in and defend himself, but in my opinion, cantoresq made the reasonable assumption that what MM was saying was that a woman who is waiting for a husband to come home from the Bais Hamidrash is waiting for a full-time learner, ergo, waiting for someone to come home from work won’t warrant a place in the Olam Haboh. Second, you insist that there are scholars and non-scholars who go to the Bais HaMedrash. Why make this distinction? If you have a husband who works and then learns after work, call him a scholar? He’s engaged in scholarship isn’t he? If he was also a part-time plumber, would you say, how dare you call him a plumber, he’s only plumbing when he’s not learning.
Your post doesn’t clear anything up, it just reiterates the mistake you already made.
All cantoresq did was interpret, either correctly or incorrectly, MM’s position, which itself could be construed as offenseive, i.e., only a woman who supports a learner merits a place in the world to come.
