tefilla - Why do women and girls not immerse before prayer?


According to Lubavitcher Rebbe, daily ritual immersion is a commendable practice, as a praying Jew is likened to the kohen who would always immerse before his avoda. Why do the women of those communities where men immerse daily not do so if they plan to pray?


Girls often have prayers at school on a scheduled daily basis (as opposed to married women). Does wanting to prevent self-justified extra-marital relations really have priority over this commendable practice?
