From the moment you asked earlier why the boys would look at the girls but the girls wouldn’t look at the boys, I realized that you obviously don’t know the differences between boys and girls, so I realized it was pointless to debate the subject.

You also said you were intelligent. Yeah, no. You took something I said, put your own explanation into it, and then insulted me for saying something which you said.

I suggested (somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as was clear from the context) not to learn certain Masechtos. Learning in-depth about blood stains, the obligations a woman has to her husband, the very graphic descriptions and logical analyses of hara’ah, neshikas ha’ever, shelo k’darkah … (need I say more?) may offend your somewhat feminist, or at least feminine, self.

You somehow decided that I meant that this was the reason Chazal said women shouldn’t learn Gemara, even though I specifically gave completely different explanations previously, and gave no indication whatsoever that this was what I meant.

Also, if you’re frustrated/mad/upset/angry with the Bais Yakov system for teaching you to be Jewish for the “wrong reasons”, look at the Rambam in Hilchos Teshuva 10:5 where you’ll see that they were 100% correct.
