I think it all depends on who your parents are and how they brought you up. No one in my family "follows along blindly," yet we also do not take a position just because it's contrary. We were taught to think for ourselves and not be afraid to question. And certainly not to just accept things that men with beards today say. Rather, one must think things through logically and through the lens of halacha (and I don't refer to the "da'as torah today; I refer to seforim like the tur, shulchun aruch, aruch hashulchun, mishna brura, rav moshe, and the like). Having said that, I think that, for both males and females, that you should start with the basics, AND COMPLETE THE BASICS, before you move to talmud. Once you make a siyum on the former, then kol ha'kavod, make a siyum on talmud. Just remember why your learning- for self-improvement, sharing torah with the more ignorant, and for the sake of g-d, and not to just rebel or be different. MoDoxgirl,

I had a siyyum and I learn Talmud and still call myself frum. I think that the reason they don't let women learn is because then they can question what they are doing, rather then just follow along blindly. I agree with you lawschooldrunk!

Everyone drinks and sings at a shalom zachor, but what people really crave, is a good, short, inspiring dvar torah: one that includes the parsha, the family and an obvious amount of preparation. People will talk about the great dvar torah that night, and it will come up again at the kiddush the next day. People will point at you and say, that's the guy who gave the great dvar torah last night... You can't miss.
