* the Tathagatas are free from delusion, hatred and conceit. There can be no mysogyny...
* Tathagata is beyond reproach

I prefer not speculating because i don't know enough about the origination of those rules, the differences between the sexes and how exactly existence of the Nun Sangha affects the Dispensation.
ye good luck with that
