I take Peter's point. Mine however was that one of Oakfed's key magics was using fire in funeral rites. In the Praxian culture this seems like a male role rather than a female one.

When it is being portrayed as the main alternative to the worship of Eiritha.

It's not important whether it is an obvious alternative - what matters is whether women can worship them.  I don't imagine Oakfed actually cares about the sex of his worshippers.
