Joseph brought up the news story above about Rav Shteinman being against even a frum college.
Why did Rav Shteinman say that?
The simple answer is that he feels that college, even a frum college, is no place for a nice frum lady. I think that he might have another end goal.
A friend of mine, when he was in kollel in Jerusalem, had a fellow Kollel Yungeliet that was close to Rav Chaim Pinchas Sheinberg. His friend told him that Gedolim, like Rav Sheinberg, did not like the present system of women working so much out of the home, BUT the Gedolim do not protest because their words would not be accepted (if not worse).
With that idea in mind, maybe Rav Shteinman is for a system where the women will stay as the Akeret Habayit, and the man will worry about parnasa.
