wuxia women's rights

[kyss of the sword]

in jin yong novels, the women never seem to reach the top level. while in gu long several of the women have been peerless fighters. are the women in jin yong supressed from hitting the top level?
do they need a movement to gain them recognition?
what do you think.

i also felt the same way but then all of jin yong's novels are taken from the male perspective, except that last one Yue Maiden, which i havent read but its named after a girl so I should think she's the main.

I think Jin Yong likes his women less physically strong and more in intelligent, or nice or heroic...I do recall him naming quite a few females as just as heroic as their male counter parts. But when it comes to martial arts, they are always inferior.
