Even during the time of the Buddha most of the prominent Arahants were males.
Hmm, I am focused more on the teachings than issues like these. However, I would like to share that I have not seen a single female in this website’s forums.
P.S. I shared this stuff with some of my female friends but none of them were interested. One of them even seemed overwhelmed so I decided to stop. I think it will be difficult to learn Dhamma with a “soft” character. While it may not be appropriate to explicitly say this nowadays, but women tend to be more “soft” naturally than men.
You noticed it too!! I don’t know. This is how the majority of women, especially Western women, are not interested in the Dhamma. When I try to explain it to them, they find it strange and weird. One tried to get deeply interested but ended up giving up. She says she prefers to remain without religion! On the Dhamma forums, I haven’t seen women discussing either. However, there is a monastery composed entirely of Bhikkhunis in California. This is the Dhammadharini Monastery .
