Sadly this is a common trend these days, vilifying all men to bring them down to the level women are on (or so they claim, as this is not always reality that women are at the low level they claim) rather than uplifting women who are at those low levels (which not all women are, but some people seem to think they are) to bring them up to the level at which they claim men are at (which some are and some are most certainly not). Not all men are evil any more than all women are evil and using people, because they are "not good enough to work with" or to befriend is never a good thing no matter the gender of the people involved.

Teaching only women makes sense only if it is something only women can learn (which is probably nothing outside of giving birth to children which isn't really learned so much as experienced) or if you fear being alone with men. The former makes no sense, though of course it is a common thing in various points in history while the latter does on occasion make sense, but usually has more to do with not be sure of one's own judgement or thinking it's easier to reject everyone rather than risk the few who are truly dangerous. And of course women can be just as dangerous as men if they choose to be and often we of the "fairer sex" are by far the more frightening when we put our mind to it, because we can keep you from seeing it coming. Men are loud, but at the end of the day often make up. Women are quiet and at the end of the day, if there is a problem that you didn't hear about, it's going to fester and get worse. While men can as well, women are more likely to plot revenge for a petty slight for years just to get it right.
