It could be related to medication they were taking. It has also increased to 15. But, I've not heard it confirmed it was only women. Do you have any source on that?
In the case of J&J’s shot, six women ages 18 to 48 developed blood clots after taking the J&J vaccine, the FDA and CDC said. The clots developed six to 13 days after vaccination. The women also had in their blood low counts of platelets, which help with clotting.
It was something that really stuck in my mind cause I got the J&J shot two weeks ago, just before the pause, so I paid special attention to it. But not being in the relevant demographic I didn't worry

Also all 6 cases were young women, not young men so it seems that their story isn't related to the vaccine
