Why are you asking here? Don’t you have a rav or a rebbetzin to whom you go to with these questions? It depends on your community. Some communities allow, some communities discourage, some communities allow but don’t encourage. Are you asking for yourself or so you can be judgmental about someone else? If you are not interested in the assur/not assur argument but rather in the philosophical question, ask yourself the same question that has been bothering me for years: how is it possible that our heritage is off limits to 50 percent of the Jewish people? How is it possible that I can get advanced degrees in foreign cultures but not know my own?
