AAQ:
No, not at all.
You cannot compare this MO delusion of girls “needing to learn gemara” to the pre-BY era of the CC.
As you, yourself, wrote, the CC recognized then that a problem existed, and Hashem allowed Ms. Schenirer to come up with an idea to address the problem which was fully in accordance with halacha, which the CC indeed approved. But nobody disagreed that there was a problem and, for that matter, the gedolim agreed to the solution, too.
As opposed to this MO delusion of women needing to learn gemara, there, both back then and continuing all the way until today – no group of Orthodox women ever felt/feel that they need to learn gemara. There never was such a problem; it’s an MO delusion (stemming from haskala/modernity, of course). As mentioned, if MO would instead be Orthodox then they, too, wouldn’t have this problem.
Your second paragraph is not addressing what I wrote. I did not argue that women cannot be doctors or the like. Regardless, as mentioned, it is still an MO delusion/modernity to decide that girls “need to learn gemara” regardless of, liHavdil, how much secular knowledge they do or don’t have. One has nothing to do with the other.
