I do not see how that follows my train of thought.

I’m sorry, I don’t know how to explain it better than that. Maybe I am just not understanding what you were saying, so my point makes no sense to you.

For example, women do not have an obligation to engage in talmud torah, but it does not logically follow that women are unable to engage in talmud torah.

Well I agree with your saying that women are physically and mentally able to engage in Talmud Torah.

I think that in a thousand years maybe a small handful of women would be able to plumb the depths of Torah like Rav Elyashiv did though. Not because I think women are dumb, but because I think that women’s intelligence generally lies in different areas.

An example: A man is able to cook. When a man cooks, he makes food. When a women cooks she does avodas haMikdash. So why would a man cook (obviously not talking in extenuating circumstances)?

Another example: When a man sends his wife out to learn Torah, he gets (hopefully embarrassed, but other than that) nothing. When a women sends her husband out to learn Torah, she gets all the schar and benefits of learning Torah.

My point is, why make our own avodas perach? Why would we want to put ourselves into a situation where we are not enhancing ourselves is the way most beneficial for our roles?
