I believe the rule is that ladies can't go to university, so it explains the confusion. (I know I always assume people with names like Jack, Gerald, David etc are ladies and only if they have a title like Professor or Doctor do I start to wonder if they are really a man.) That "whiff of academia" in universities makes ladies faint. The one exception is sometimes a lady can become a lady doctor but only if she swears never to wear traaaazers and only to prescribe lipstick, not nasty manly things like medications.
