The problem The Emperor had with women was that He was married more times then we can probably guess, even had kids, and in the end outlived them all.

Considering the `regular` casualties of the imperial guard, women who don`t feel like joining them, stayed home and were housewives or workers, probably both. Most artworks about the IG have all men in them, i think that is not acurate because a significant part of the IG are women. Perhaps it is because of that inacurate portrail that you would think that. In Warhammer 40k as long as you can fire a gun, it doesn`t matter what gender you are, or even age apparently.
