There is no excuse other than he is a bit of a sexist. I mean what other reason could there be. If he really wanted to, he could change the gender of a character and make some tweaks. Deidara could've been a female. Shoot Haku was a female and we all know that, but Kishi just decided that having such a strong female character at the beginning of the show was too much. He got better over time with females, but clearly he doesn't give them enough attention, and it is sad because there is so very few of them compared to males.
