Interesting that only male religious communities were surveyed. We know similar issues can arise in coed lay movements and female religious communities, too. It seems they acknowledge the limits, but did not explain why they narrowed the scope.

Given that the religious order by whom I was taught have a $1.5 million dollar fund for victims of abuse in their orphanage and I was one of their non-orphanage victims, the omission of female orders seems to be more related to social stereotypes than reality.
