Even though the Pali Suttas appear devoid of the idea masculinity & femininity are results of past kamma, such ideas appear to remain fertile in worldly Buddhism. I read the following on the internet:
> I think this is pretty obvious. Karma functions as a universal law and
> our situation, the form we are born in is decided by karma. One of the
> sexes is naturally more advantageous than the other, despite women
> having an easier time in modern society, even just anatomically they
> are less fortunate. **Then of course like the Buddha explained, women
> are unable to shake their desire for sex, reproduction** and no Buddha
> will be born in the form of a woman. Indicated males are more
> advantageous. Also hence why there are more vinaya rules for women
If the above is true and if desire for sex and reproduction is the cause of rebirth as a woman, what is the cause of rebirth as a man (including as men with multiple wives, as mentioned in SN 55.7)?
