i don t have your answer but i have mine and maybe i can help you to find yours.
first sure that in the basic level,in general men are more grounded than women,but it s not so much about man or woman.
it s more talking about the soul s level.

best regards
To my brothers ……. I think that men are spiritual in their own way. Women will argue that men are less spiritual because we rationalize, because we question and because we seek the answers to things that cannot be explained. Everything in this life is spiritual, even science. Its funny how most of the religions in this world were created by men and that many women worship gods that are in the image of man, but more women go to church. Faith is the evidence of the things not seen however religions created by men are a result of men seeking answers for things that cannot be explained. Before all of the debate on whether men had less faith in God than women, it was the faith of a man (Jesus) in this world that provoke the human race to get in tune with their spirituality. Women are more emotional and act more on their God given intuition to be nurturing and to love more than men. The ability to reason and to rationalize is God given just like anything else. It is the reason that man (men and women) have dominion over the earth. So many women are looking for a man to be the spiritual leader (covering) of the household and will not believe that he can be, without going to church and doing those religious things that are deemed necessary to have a relationship with God. We both have our roles in spirituality ……. Men just express their spirituality by doing what God wanted him to do and it is not necessarily going to church. Men get closer to God by understanding the world that God has created. It give us a since of appreciation for why things are. The questioning, is our way of doing this ……. However we don’t question if he (God) exist. This is the biggest misunderstanding between men and women. The fact that men are arrogate, violent, aggressive, and do things that are not rational at times….. doesn’t mean that we don’t believe. In fact, some men believe so much that they are willing to give their lives. That is the reason for the wars on this earth. I am not justifying the actions but want young ladies to understand this perspective. Men acknowledge that women are emotional leaders on this planet. That is why we having a yearning to be with women. We belong together. That is why we cherish what women represent …… so the term spiritual leader can be referring to man or woman ….. and most spiritual leaders are men. There can be two leaders of the household spiritually, but not one religious leader. It is not the responsibility of the woman to back a man into a corner about how he feels about God. If the man says that he is a man of God she should have “faith” in him and believe…. And if he is not a man of God, and she is in tune with her own spirituality, she will know ….. and choose not to be with that man. I am not going to quote bible verses for you because this applies to all religions. The paradox is that religion was created by men who are not perfect (unlike God, who is) …….and that many women believe blindly in some things about their religion that are not rational. God gave us the ability to reason and think for ourselves (use wisdom). Your spiritual leader may be a man or woman but …… should you believe everything that he or she is preaching? …… the bible was written by man …. Should you believe everything that is in it? “ the word ” …… Never believe everything that you hear because in all religions “ the word of God” is being delivered by the voice of man. Think for yourself …. It is what God wants you to do. You have to make up your own mind whether or not you want that relationship with him. There should not be any feelings of guilt because you have chosen not to follow any particular “ spiritual leader” …. And you should not be compelled to compromise your own “ spirituality” to be with a woman who doesn’t believe you when you tell her that, you are a man of God.
I find women are more bhakti (path of devotion) men tend to be more jnani (path of wisdom). Both paths are said to lead to the same source
I would imagine there are 50/50 in terms of awakened people. A lot of the women that call themselves 'spiritual' are far from awake. A lot of women i know consider themselves spiritual because they read their sun signs, do yoga, light incense.
Male sages seem to have a much deeper impact than their female counterparts though
most of the greatest teachers/masters/gurus/mystics have been men. Ramana maharshi, Nisargadatta maharaj, Ramakrishna, krishnamurti, buddha, jesus, adyashanti, osho, gurdjief, most of the zen and sufi lineages, creators of yoga, rishis, tibetan buddhists etc etc etc etc etc
Women are incarnations of feeling power more than desiring power-men are incarnations of desiring power more than feeling power-feeling power is gentle-patient-trusting and non-agressive while desiring power is brutish-violent-impatient and untrusting-and-god as light is mother power-loving and forgiving but god as word is father power-strict and punishing-besides-women are called-better halves-and-treated with-ladys first-no such words for men-also-in any religious gathering of any religion throught the world presence-services and sacrifices-charities and devotion of women outnumber men many times over-finally-jesus said-treat your women-wives as you would treat your holy church-with honor and respect-he did not say so about men-there are thousand and one other points from cultures and history that prove that women are far superior to men in spiritual matters-without any doubt-it was a woman-alaxander the great wife-who tied hindu brother-sister relationship knot on hindu emperor porus wrist-secretly visiting him night before next day battle-that he did not kill alexander because that would make his sworn sister a widow and alexander learnt it later and was amazed at hindu culture and magnamity of its heart-gframesch.
