I might wonder why women form any part of the world would wish to have a camera tool that was any different from a man with a similar level of interest in photography.

I have no idea other than this, that most women carry purses, while most men do not. I suspect the compact size of these cameras might appeal to some women who want more camera than a cell phone provides, but would like to be able to carry it nearly all the time in their purse rather than buy a big camera that would require a second bag. For men who will be carrying a camera bag as their only bag, it might not matter as much if it is somewhat bigger.

Makes sense. Smaller size should be better for women. However the age and hence strength of the photographer should also affect decisions, which is why many people here abandoned FF and get lighter mirrorless cameras. Women are weaker usually due to their physique.
