Yeah, apparently so
The indigenous people in Australia say that it's forbidden for women to play, and it's widely accepted there that to be culturally sensitive you shouldn't play if you're a woman. However like many "traditional" beliefs, if you dig a little deeper you find out it's not something that always existed, and more recent patriarchal views have established it. Impossible to convince most people, though, especially as the aboriginal people there have been horribly treated and nearly wiped out.
