I see The Pixie is as ignorant as he usually is.
I'll let AP handle this overall, but for fun, I'll just slap down on one of my favorite issues...
Uh, no. It shows that women were too well respected to be just put on "front street". In this honor-shame society, women were accorded primary rights over the private sphere. Unless they crossed over into the public sphere, naming them was considered a violation of that privilege and right.
For that reason, named women were either public figures like Ruth and Esther (named because of very good things they did), or else figures like prostitutes (named because of very bad things they did).
It's always amusing when a cultural bigot like The Pixie toddles out such self-righteous judgments based on his lack of serious education and use of sources like "evilbible.com".

It shows women are generally considered not even important enough to warrant being named.
