Saidar is a calm river, yes... but only till it is pushed. Fight it, and it suddenly flips into a mire with whirlpools and hidden currents. I suspect something trying to stem the flow of saidar would face that.
It seems to me shielding against either would be different. Would be interesting to see if the most skilled channelers alter their shields for men and women a bit.
