Maybe take some time to actually study the texts, instead of letting random videos or discussions shape your thinking.. Gurukul and vedas have always been accessible to everyone(each varn, men & women) सर्वेभ्योऽपि च वर्णेभ्यः सर्वेभ्यश्च आश्रमिभ्यः। यः प्रवृत्तिं निवृत्तिं च श्रोतुमिच्छति धर्मतः॥ Translation- All varnas and ashramas may listen to the Vedas if they desire to understand pravritti (worldly life) and nivritti (renunciation) according to dharma.
