As per Sikh religion both men and women are seen equal. The Sikhs Guru themselves spoke of it. Whether in relation to spiritual matters or worldly matters, woman is the other half of man. One very good early example in which Sikh Guru equated women with men was when Sikh Gurus started Masand System for spreading their teachings. There were 24 masands out of which 8 were women who were equally given the rights to preach the teachings of Sikh Gurus. It was a huge step forward considering the time when women everywhere were not given equal rights in worldy matters, let alone being a spiritual preacher.Furhtermore, women also participated alongside men in battles with Mughal rulers of their time.
Also please be advised if the followers don't follow Gurus teachings, it is the follower who is in question not the Guru who has given same position to both male and female.
Thank You
