Praxian society has very few options for women other than Eirithan healers, so BG provides an outlet for female players and female PCs who want something else to do. My Praxian campaign has too many female players to squeeze them all into Eiritha.
Babs is not a practical deity but a fanatical one. Even if there were a
pressing need for the Paps to have temple security, Babeester Gor would
be as likely to provide it as the Shargashi at the Old Wind Temple.
Moreover if your concern is that Praxian society offers women too few
roles then it seems odd to provide a major alternative in the form of
one of bloodthirsty axe-murderers.
Better alternatives would be Daka Fal, Yelorna, the Star Witches, the
Serpent Dancers, the Wind Singers, Oakfed, the Red School of Masks, Zola
Fel, Lightning Boy, Grandmother of Spiders, Night Woman, Raven, White
Princess, Evening Star, Morning Star, Redwood, Father of Independents
and Hyena.
If your PCs wanted to be outlaws, then they could worship Dark Eater,
Malia, the Sunset Society or the Wild Hunter.
