GAW: Learning Torah is an obligation for a man not a privilege. Obviously Chaza”l meant to explain why a women does not require Torah learning in order for them to reach perfection, and that is why the Torah has not obligated them to study Torah, as we learn from the posuk “Vishinantum L’banecha V’loa L’binosecha”.
Of course women may study as much Torah as they wish, the same way Rash”i’s daughters have studied. However, one may question what their true motives are when studying; is their sole purpose just to send a feminist message to the Frum world? Or is it their sincere desire for spiritual fulfillment that urges them to study Torah?
BTW: Are you a Gavra or a woman? If the former, then why do feel compelled to defend your opposite gender? If the latter, then you should be well aware that the Torah recognizes a women as having the same spiritual status as a man. And in many areas in halacha and agaddah it is the women rather then the man who is given unique status.
