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).

Hi- I recently joined your list-

I would think that one of the reasons HPB [and AAB after her] manifested in a female body was to symbolize and inform that in this new dispensation, women are to assume their rightful and equal role
in all strata of society.
I'd also wonder that if so-called Adepts are easily distracted by women, what claim they can lay to actually being 'Adept'?

regards-

Ali
