Sheichus difference?
What I meant was that guys are not that way. Plenty of guys enjoy learning other stuff more. Some people’s heads are geared to the effect that they have a lot more potential in applied mathematics than in learning, and therefore they enjoy it more. I was just speculating as to why it may seem that all girls who like to learn, enjoy Torah the most.
Lol – aren’t you supposed to be referring me to math textbooks…
I didn’t really want to get into this, but as a general rule I have no objection to a girl learning, especially if it has any relevance to women (i.e. any sugya in shas that deals with anything other than a time bound mitzva). It just seems to me that the whole learning navi thing is in order to fill up the day with Torah because, after all, a girl can’t learn Gemara (…), and to that I object, because I don’t think the curriculum needs to be filled up with Torah so much. Girls should learn as much as they have to know in order to maintain an observant lifestyle, and past that they should have the choice whether to further their studies in Torah or physics etc.

I did not know that, thank you. I have always been under the impression that there were multiple things under the heading ???? ?????? because sometimes the Gemara seems to frown upon it inherently and sometimes just from a bitul Torah standpoint. I just think the statement of the Yerushalmi in context seems to imply something other than sophistry, but I may be wrong.
And lol 🙂
