Generally speaking, long guns (rifles, shotguns) are better than handguns at almost everything, except certain specialized applications...
1. Close-quarters combat
2. Concealment
3. Handiness, lightness, ease of carry and use.
It's hard enough to get a woman to carry a little automatic, I sure don't see them lugging around shotguns and rifles to go shopping.
We have done amazing things with technology. I'm sure that if there is a big enough market for them we can get gun manufacturers to make a rifle or a shotgun ideal for female use. And we can also get women to get used to using firearms too.
If women can get used to driving and having careers then theyy can get used to pulling a trigger.
