Dear cecil,
I read somewhere that the women are not allowed to touch the seven star swords. That it is considered a very mystical and powerful thing that the store owners don't sell it to a women customer at any cost. Is there any truth in this. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
In Chinese sword play, some swords are considered Yang (Male) while others are Yin (Female).
Therefore, there is some truth in the above statement as I believe, the seven star sword is Yang.
In Chinese sword play, sword fighting methods differ for a woman and a man. Some sword fighting methods utilize a Male and Female (in harmonious interaction) and this pair (under a skillful pair) is difficult to beat.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
