Joseph, I missed your post and only realized it today, where you say you didn’t post about women and bears… sorry I forgot your exact comment, but you posted that “Women are easily frightened…” in the news article about the black bear in Forshay… as if men would stand around waiting to greet a black bear…what was your point?
Now you bought a Rambam that women can’t learn effectively. There are many rerferences in the Torah, in the Talmud, meforshim and seforim about men in a negative sense as well. I don’t see the point in combing through myriads of sources to bring up what they say about men…
Nd”k in my opinion,( and there are many meanings including the one Bruriah talked about, as everything in the Torah has many facets) means that since women are more emotional than men, feeling more empathy with others as opposed to men who are not so emotionally involved with other people, it may have an influence on halachik outcomes so women should not be poskim and dayanim.
Nobody feels uncomfortable with this Chazal as your first comment stated- we feel uncomfortable with what you are trying to imply.
