Perhaps it is because the Adepts can choose in which bodies they are to 
incarnate, and they choose the most useful bodies for their purposes, 
and, until extremely recently in history, women were extremely limited 
by the cultures in which they lived in what they could do?

Alternatively, as the Adepts have to join together and work together as 
one, having a female in their numbers might be too distracting (which 
brings up the possibility of groups consisting entirely of women; for 
all we know, they exist).
