Men are not the winners and women are not the losers and this is not a contest. G-d wanted his creation to be. Women have to have no fear. Men and women are, in most circles, and should be considered in other and all circles, to be equal in this world. To say that men learn Torah and Talmud and fulfill practices that Judaism demands and women is excluded, in part, to learn Torah and Talmud and doesn't fulfill practices that Jewish men do, is not the way to view the world, although women throughout the ages see it that way as being excluded from the Jewish world that it is seen to be so rich.
Women do play a part, a vital part of Jewish life.
Women should not see their part or their role in Jewish life being thought of as 'competing with men' because this thought belittles, demeans and ridicules the vital part or vital role that women play in Jewish life. It is understandable, to me anyway, that women consider their role in Jewish life to be mundane and boring and wants a 'challenge', so to speak. It's up to Hashem because it's his world and Hashem's will, which determines how the world is run. The sentiment of worthlessness and an unchallenging lifestyle that Jewish women see themselves as, is the same sentiment as Catholic women and the Church differed on when Catholic women wanted to become Priests.
