Traditionally, women didn't have much a role in Buddhism. The books were all written by monks, for other monks. So the general view of the feminine was rather misogynistic, with women playing the role of the forbidden other, waiting to pounce on innocent little monks!

I think there's a part of society that is very for women being confident and being empowered, but I think there's another part of society that feels very threatened by women being powerful.

This is a generalization, but I think women's brains are more accessible to ideas and differences. And they can accept stuff that's weirder.
