Your friend sees the world through feminist glasses I'm afraid. Her comments are nothing more than sexist claptrap. I'm sorry if the book Siddhartha is not potically correct enough to include "woman's issues." Any imbecile could tell that the book was about personal growth, self-realization, etc... Althought the protagonist happened to be a man in this case, there is nothing to prevent a woman from following a similar spritual path. The Buddha himself taught there is no difference between men and woman when it comes to enloightenment.
