Dear Swami,
 
I can neither contest this reasoning nor know pretty well if I can buy them for 
the moment. I also heard such reasonings in the past, but I have not come 
across anything definitive on this matter. On the contrary there were lady veda 
pundits in the times of yore. 
 
All that can be said at this point of time is that for some really good reasons 
recitation of vedas have been prohibited for ladies by poorvacharyas and is in 
practise in that form for generations now. Hence that should be respected. I 
would only limit my self fto this level for the moment .

swamin,

My learned father and grandfather also were of the
same view and requested that Vedas are not for the
females. But this was not because of Gender bias.

The explanation my Grandfather told me (incidentally
he was alsovery close to Thirukudathai swami from his
poorvashrama days) was that due to the swara and the
deergha and haswa tones it is not suitable for family
females as most of the sounds are from the bottom
of the stomach.

But ladies can recite the slokas of Desikan and the
nalayiram and others.
