What is the actual problem with a women learning Gemorah? We definitely from the genorah that women did learn gemorah. Yes, only few names are mentioned but obviously not every man that learned genorah is mentioned either. What would be the purpose of preventing someone from learning? Why do we care what the Satmar Rebbe said? He also said women have to shave their heads? How is that halachikally allowed? This is just one example of anti Jewish rhetoric of Satmar that is against holocho and Jeeish values and tradition.
Why is there is push to keep women simple minded and ignorant? What is the purpose of this, and where in chazal do we see this? Most women in these “ultra orthodox” communities can’t talk about anything more complex than what they have in their freezer. The more “farfrumt” the community, the more ignorant the women are. And I mean ignorant in Jewish study and thought. It is very disturbing. The women in Tanach were all wise, educated, strong minded, independent thinkers. Isn’t that what we are supposed to nurture in our daughters?
