You're both kinda wrong and right at the same time, Just solely based on the fact that cultivation exists there should be no difference between male or female, because in ancient times the reason that women were often treated as commodities to be sold off for manage and so on was because they contribute less than men as men have higher physical strenght, but in cultivation society their strenght is based on their aptitudes so there should be absolutely no gender oppression there, because by oppressing a gender you are unknowingly offending half a population of cultivators who can kill with just a slap.
