I'm not super into the details of 40k lore, but it does seem like all space marines are male. I suppose it's plausible that's just the result of all the enhancements given to them. I think technically space marines are closer to eunuchs though.

My nebulous understanding is that there's no specific reason saying that women can't be space marines, but I assume that it's probably tradition since all the Primarchs are male. But I do remember hearing that one of the key people in the program that created the Primarchs was upset that they were all men because there was no reason that they couldn't have been women other than "because the Emperor said so."
