Hi guys

I agree with many of you. the primarchs cannot realistically be reincarnated, however they can be reborn.

This is done through the sacrificial slaughtering of all the members of that Primarchs legion (depending on the purity of the gene seed you may only need 1000 space marines for the ritual) the collected psykic, and shared geneseed, would then allow the psycological pieces of the primarch, distributed amongst individuals of the former legions, to culminate into a single physical form (you need the primarchs body for that, so the blood angels, Iron Hands and Dark Angels could do this); the resulting psycic shock would be enough to basically re animate the former primarchs shell, rebirthing the primarch.

Additionally the neither the Imperium, nor the Emperor would have been misoginist; as the Emperor instated the Sisters of Silence, who had a seat on the Council of Terra, and whom also allowed for female only Regiments to be founded (this to prevent the normal male soldier having to much female company while traveling in the warp,( also warp sirings can result in mutants and heretics being born).
