After some thought, I am quite convinced that women should be careful about learning multiple languages, because there are indeed downsides. And, it is certainly my opinion that women should not become polyglots. And, here is why. In the garden of paradise, before the fall, Adam communicated with God, and Adam communicated with Eve. Much of Adam's communication with God occurred before Eve was even created. All the rules regarding the Tree of knowledge occurred before Eve was created. This means that Adam made use of one language, for when we communicate with God, we do so perfectly through prayer, which is communication by way of the spirit. Because, God is spirit.
Eve on the other hand, she communicated with Adam, and she communicated with the serpent, the most subtle of all the beasts. This represents the maximum capability of women regarding communication. Eve maxed out her communicative skills by communicating with the serpent. And, the result was bad. It follows then, that the more languages women learn, the more they are maxing out their carnal communicative potential. One might think this is good, for obviously women have the capacity to do so. But, post fall, this is not a good thing. The serpent was punished by having to lick the dust all its days, pun intended, and Eve was punished with pain in childbirth. Why is Eve's punishment significant in this regard? Who was it that named John the baptist? It was his father. Post Fall, it is to be the father to speak the first words to the child, in the form of their name, lest the woman, in her current state of pain, instead of blessing the child with a good name, curse the child as a result of her labors, by giving them a bad name.
No longer is woman to max out her communicative potential as she did in the garden with the serpent. Woman is to max out her communicative potential in the formation of her children. Post fall, the reverse for women, becomes the great potential. The greatest thing a mother can do for her children is to communicate with them better than any other, and this occurs in the form of one tongue, the mother tongue.
What about women who do not get married and become mothers you might say? Eve has one curse as a result of the Fall, she does not have two. She does however have many natural characteristics that remind her of such vocation, that of Mother, that she cannot avoid or do away with. And, last I checked, this does not make women happy. Just as first words, such as the naming of a child, are important, last words, are important. There is a saying, "it is not over until the fat lady sings".
