Where are the Yato women?

Discussion

I was rewatching the SA arc the other day and kept thinking about this every time we saw the 7th division. It's all men, but from what we see, there doesn't SEEM to be any Yato cultural stigma against women going to battle. So I thought well, maybe Yato women are just rarer than Yato men. But none of the Yato seem surprised about Kagura, so I don't THINK its that either? Do the Harusame guys all have wives just hanging out taking care of the kids on a random assortment of planets somehwere, Umibozu and Kouka style?? Even if so, you'd think there'd be at least a COUPLE female Yato in the Harusame since clearly the Harusame themselves are fine with having female members.

I recognize the answer is probably just that Sorachi simply didn't draw any female 7th division lol, but considering Mutsu and Kagura are both fairly sigmificant characters it just seems so odd for them to be left out! Just curious if anyone had any head canons or if it's already explained and I just forgot something since its been a few years since I watched the show or read the manga all the way through haha
