It also depends on which country you live in. Yes, it does matter, as most women in other countries are actively discouraged from pursuing spirituality and even more so, speaking up about it. "Most" countries. How many countries hold a man back from a spiritual journey? The journey is for all and all can attain but you don't know what you don't know and a lot of women are in the unfortunate position to rely on men for knowledge. I have 2 daughters, both trying to attain enlightenment, as well as, some of my relatives that are women. You could also ask yourself how many women are you exposed to? Do you have a lot of females in your family? If you are sensitive to wanting to know about women - search them out. Who knows - take every opportunity as something to expand your awareness with.
I'm fortunate to live in America. But, I still don't feel the need to comment on every topic. You all are doing a fine job ;-)
