Q. See question above. Do the same issues apply to women?
A. Kaf Hachaim (O.H. 157: 28), Chavas Da’as (Y.D. 72), Siach Hasodeh quoting HoRav Ch. Kanievsky Zt’L and others maintain that the issues mentioned by Talmud Horios (13b) that cause forgetfulness of Torah learning do not apply to women, since they are not part of the mitzva of learning Torah.
