    "The gemara says that Hashem endowed women with Binah." Actually, the Gemara says that Hashem endowed women with more Binah [than men] (שנתן הקב"ה בינה יתירה באשה יותר מבאיש). Men are endowed with some Binah, too. "Why is there no source that says Hashem endowed man with Chochma?" (1) Maybe because "Thus said Hashem: Let not man glory in his Chochma" (Jer. 9:22)? (2) Is man's Chochma an endowment, rather than something he acquires? Commented Nov 29, 2024 at 5:29
  • "When it says 'ten measures of speech were given to the world, women took nine' ..." The two English translations for 'שיחה' (which you translate as 'speech') brought in that link are 'conversation' and 'gossip'. The Mishnah says "Engage not in too much שיחה (speech?) with women", and that "as long as a man engages in too much שיחה (speech?) with women, he causes evil to himself, he neglects the study of the Torah, and in the end he will inherit gehinnom".
