Hence XY chromosome and no second X chromosome to make female gene-seed. That said I have no problem with female astartes and the solution is easy. Like with Luther and the members of the Order that were too old for implantation surgery and biotics could be used to get the females as close as possible to the astartes standard, and training could get their skill level compartable. So loosen up and let those that have want female astartes have. sobasiccally you would want not so good or long living fighters with less tactical acumen and moral flaws, when you can use gene-seed ^^
