    Bayit Beitar is right. Moreover, there are many chashuva rebbetzins who are (and were) involved in Gemora learning (e.g., Rebbetzin Bruria David, BJJ; Rebbetzin Ausband, Yavneh Seminary; Rebbetzin Gettinger, Young Israel of the UWS) and hundreds of women learning Daf Yomi in person and/or online. This ship has LONG sailed. For those who can look beyond their misogyny, there are MANY gedolim who have allowed women to learn Gemora at the highest levels, and opposing de’os do not invalidate these rulings. Indeed, when the idea for Artscroll was first launched, your question was raised before a Gadol on the Moetzes. Though I cannot recall who, I do remember that he was not bothered by the issue. With so much happening right now for Yidden in EY and around the world, why stir up enmity with this issue? If it bothers you so much, forbid ypur wife and daughter(s)(to the extent you can); do not impose your beliefs as halakhah le-ma’aseh on the klal.
