Opposition to Female Participation In Religious Matters Fear-Based, Not Halakha-Based, Orthodox Rabbi Says

"…The concern amongst many in Jewish Orthodoxy regarding the role of women has less to do with the adherence to Jewish law, and more to do with the fear that changes [will] impact the nature and culture of the religious community as it currently stands. If Orthodox women are given equal opportunities to men with regards studying Talmud, leadership, and teaching, we may find, as we have in general society, that women will become greater Torah scholars than the men.…"
