[Kundalini Yoga] question: why is the thumb position gender specific with Sat Kriya?

Sat nam,

I'm sure this has been addressed before - what is the specific reason for the gender-specific thumb position with Sat Kriya (and other asanas/meditations)?

I know it has to do with the difference between men's and women's energies, but a student wanted to know the specific reason.

Thanks for letting me know!

Hugs,

Amy/Sat Prem
