emestorah: Call them by their names. Devorah and Chuldah, two of only seven nevios, great women whose shoes you don’t even reach, even if you are a man (yeridas hadoros and all that).
I was not responding to whether guys and girls should learn together (it may not be optimal, but it can’t be bad- school studies have shown that while girls do better in girls only classes, boys do better with girls in the classroom). I was responding to the implication that girls CANNOT reason the way boys do and are not CAPABLE (charged word) of learning be’iyun.
And what are you trying to say with the quote about the nevios? That we need to squash down the women so that they don’t get into a position where they get haughty?
You may have a much more benign meaning- in which case, maybe try making that point in a benign way.
