You are our leaders, our Amir and our Prince so step up and be the man that are innately are! Lets show the world what being a Muslim is all about!

كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ

You are indeed the BEST community that has ever been brought forth for mankind: you enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and you believe in Allah. (Quran 3:110)

Judge the deed, not the breed. Islam & Muslims are two different things, a Muslim should not necessarily be associated with Islam.

Does not each equally apply to women also?

Salam alaikum
 
Not necessarily, for example, man are the maintainers and protectors of women while the opposite cannot be said about women being the maintainers and protectors of man.
 
For example, markets do not hinder MAN from the rememberance of Allah (e.g. attending Friday sermon), women don't have to attend Friday khutbas.
 
For example, women do not fight for faith as do men...
 
Other than that, yes you are quite right, it does apply to women.
