Padmasambhava - Guru Rinpoche - Pointing out Instructions to the Old Lady - Dzogchen
A pointing out instruction can be like the spark that sets off the powder keg of realization spontaneously for some, at the right time and place. However, listening posits the seeds in your mindstream.
In Dzogchen there is no gender prejudice involved. All sentient beings are endowed with the true nature. Realization is the only difference and it is non-dual. That's all.
