It is plain enough that M-B is a man. If he was not so, he wouldn't find anything scandalous in nursing visions of all those medieval Saints whom the church canonized. "only a man can think it is wrong. to a woman it is love to a child it is food" it is nothing V2ish. Indeed one of these women was canonized by Pope Pius III she is Veronica Guiliani.
There are such like strories in medieval source books. I can give you the list of name of these womem.
