Why are there more male sadhus and not as many female ones?

So, I was talking with my friend, and he said something interesting—he thinks that men tend to be more deeply into spirituality than women. He pointed out that there are way more male sadhus than female ones. That got me thinking… In daily life, I see women being more involved in puja, rituals, and religious activities, but when it comes to intense spiritual practices like sadhana, meditation, or renunciation, it seems like men dominate. Why do you think this is? Is it societal conditioning, historical reasons, or something else? Curious to hear different perspectives!
