Can women be Makai Knights? We know that both men (e.g. Mendoza) and women (e.g. Ema) can be Makai Priests. And, of course, men can be Makai Knights (Leon, Alfonso, Germán, ...). 

But can women be Makai Knights? In episode 24 of Garo: Honoo no Kokuin, 


   Jiruba says that Germán's child with Ximena is going to inherit Zoro. This prompts Leon to ask Jiruba if that means that the child is a boy. 


This seems to suggest that women cannot be Makai Knights. Is this in fact the case? Supporting information from the tokusatsu series would be very welcome here.
Taken from Garo wikia


  The Order required self-sufficient/independent warriors that's highly adept in martial arts (stronger than their priests and greater combat strength against Horrors), strong mental and emotional discipline (to handle their emotions, manage against potential dark energies, and see through illusions), and mastery over Soul Metal (due to its dangerous nature); creating a full-fledged Makai Knight is a lifetime of training. Because males are physically stronger than females, the order decided to exclude women from ever becoming a knight. 


I'm not sure about other armors, but in Golden Knight's case, one day in every month, the knight won't be able to fight as Zaruba is taking the knight's whole day. Also, women has to face menstruation every month, and that menstruation didn't last just one day and disappear tomorrow. A female Makai Knight would be unavailable for more than one day a month, which is a totally bad idea. Thus, while technically they might be able to become one, it is undesirable.
