In a lot of game material, yup. I don't doubt that ingenious GMs can come up with something better, but a lot of published material doesn't work that way.

Who was not an Ernalda worshipper in a traditional female role, which is the notion we are discussing. Ditto for the other ones you listed.
In fact, my Gloranthan HQ characters have been non-combat ones as often as not. But I can see why female players might want to run a female, combat-ready Orlanthi PC, especially in a Sartar game, and why people on this list object to a rewrite of the best cult for such characters.
