I think one of the biggest issues that crops up is people interpreting the setting as a place where women actually are literally inferior, when I think this is pretty clearly not the case and is kind of the whole point. Yes, there is a metaphysical framework wherein the BELIEF that women are inferior exists, and that this may have links to salvation/damnation/whatever, but ultimately those internal metaphysics are not some kind of genuine moral compass. That's like, kinda the point of the whole thing I feel like. The Gods are not good. We are told this, straight up, by the most fanatical character in the series (Psatma).
Unfortunately, this concept is not something that's super-evident right off the bat, or even after a full read of the series necessarily. But I feel like there's this sort of kernel idea of "women are literally inferior to men" in the Bakkerverse, which isn't really true at all and is very much a surface-only interpretation of the setting.
(I still think RSB failed to create a cast of diverse female characters though, which is a whole separate issue really, but it doesn't help with interpretation).
