See the sources again. They say (including the ones you cited) that teaching women or girls a curriculum of Torah Shebksav is bad but teaching them a curriculum of Torah Shebalpeh is even worse.
In other words, both are bad but one is worse than the other.
See ujm I don’t have a temple I connected directly to G-d. That’s the difference between me and you.
The OP wrote:
“the majority of women are not intellectual prepared to be taught”
There are 2 distinct points:
1) A minority of women do have the motivation and ability to learn. Those women should learn, and always have.
2) Should there be a curriculum in schools teaching women aspects of Torah that are not needed for practical observance (including da’os). Here the answer is no.
However, the crux of the question is what is, in fact, needed for fully engaged, practical observance. This will depend on the level of literacy women have in a particular time and place. One thing is certain. There is no virtue in perpetuating ignorance.
To ujm et al,
Most people outside your bubble really couldn’t care less what you think. You hold according to your rabbis and they hold according to theirs. It’s that simple_all_ humans have discernment and especially woman have wisdom. G-d said don’t eat from the tree of _knowledge_ cuz it will disconnect you from reality and you will have to work and struggle for your food. Cuz you are no longer living from activated abundance. Knowledge is not wisdom. That’s why the Torah was written in the most simplistic manner so it only activated the internal part of you that lives in reality and not your cerebral mind which separates you from G-d.
