I think she is only the former, the path for women who are, or want to be, members of the warband. Which means she is probably not that large. Most Orlanthi are really farmers, cowherds and shepherds, if you define them by what they spend most of there time doing. Only a very small minority spend ost of their time on warrior activities and duties. If you accept that most of the females who want to follow a male path will want to follow the normal male path than they won;t be Vingans.
