The 12 Apostles are men. Jesus chose them. One was replaced and he was a man too. You have to remember they were all Jews and they lived in 30 A.D. It was not a time when it was COMMON for Jewish women to be leaders of men. Mary Magdalene was a very special woman because she faithfully followed Jesus and served Him for the rest of her life. The Catholic Church even sainted her. Quite an honor. It is too bad she was not chosen by Jesus to be an Apostle (disciple) but He knew what he was doing and why He made His choices as he did.

Disciple can refer to others besides the Twelve. The verb 'follow' became something of a technical term Jesus used to call His disciples, who were then called followers. The larger group of followers included men and women (Luke 8:1-3). Mary Magdalene eventually became a part of an inner circle of supporters of Jesus (Mark 15:40; Matt. 27:56; John 19:25).
