I asked a friend of mine who lives in EY what is going there about 
this. He wrote:

"I did not hear anything here.  It's "known" that non-friendly people 
listen to his shiur. They then transfer their impressions and 
interpretations to the media. I have heard similar statements, thier 
meaning is more like "do not forget that your primary task is to be a 
mother and housewife. Alas, today it is common that the lady is the 
primary breadwinner ... leaving the house early in the morning.

Also going to too many Shiurim is not always the best for one's family.

I would accept what he said along this line and not getting excited.

BTW His daughter is the dean of one of the frum technological 
colleges for ladies .... ."

I find this last sentence "marvelous" in light of what some have 
asserted ROY said about women! >:-}
