An Abbess is a woman, and an Abbot is a man, just like a Gander is a male goose, or a bull is a male beef cow, Abbess is the female form of the word Abbot, so of course an man cannot be an Abbess, he would be an Abbot. Just like a man cannot be a nun, he would be a monk - same thing, Abbess rules over nuns, Abbot rules over monks.
