On a more serious note, I have heard that the reason for BeHaB is to do teshuva for any kalus rosh that may have occurred during the Yom Tov when there is more chance for mingling of opposite genders. I have never heard any differentiation between men and women but ont he other hand I have never heard of women doing BeHaB. For that matter, I have never heard of anyone who has actually fasted on BeHaB but I do know that some yeshivas say the selichos, I think that they say that fasting would cause bittul Torah so it’s better for yeshiva guys not to fast but that doesn’t mean you can’t daven.
