“A corollary might be assumed to be that the community is remiss if they don’t offer full opportunities to learn gemara, including appropriate prep;”
Based on the words that my rav has quoted me, I think that Rav Soloveitchik may actually have thought that such communities are remiss. That is a very strong position and is certainly a chidush. But he was a gedol and was entitled to his opinion and his students are entitled to follow it (and may in fact be *obligated* to follow it). R’Kotler, R’Hutner, and the Lubavicher Rebbe were very close to him even though they certainly disagreed with The Rav on this one.
” and that women are remiss if they don’t avail themselves of these opportunities.”
I am not aware of The Rav saying that. Strictly speaking, there is no chiyuv even for *men* to learn gemara. It is just better to learn all the sources for the halachah if you want to be as careful as possible in mitzvot and that applies to men and women.
