Which Reminds Me

I do vaguely remember that someone was somewhat too laboriously an obscure point about the story of the paralytic man who was healed by Jesus after his friends cut a hole in the roof of the house and lowered him through the roof on a mat. Jesus said to him, "Your sins are forgiven."
So some person was saying that obviously no one would do that for a woman paralytic because Jesus might not so easily forgive her for intruding on his privacy that way. 
And then later Jesus said, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." And also that was no woman who could be called upon to take up her own bed of her own volition without a husband to do it for her, someone was saying. 
So obviously Jesus takes these cases on an individual basis and commands differing remedies as required by the particular facts and circumstances of the situation. So? I am not even the person who said that and was not worried about that.
