The number given was 120
14These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
(If you're on a desert island alone with only the bible and no religious teaching, history, or other books to reference would you interpret 1-5 as including everyone in the room?)
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
The devout men heard every man in our out tongue is the KJV way of saying "each of us" and not meaning "we only hear males"
New International Version
Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?
New Living Translation

The every man means "each one of us"
When Peter stands up with the eleven (they stood up with him) The speaking in tongues was over. Peter addressed them in the common language. Probably Aramaic.
Peter says that THIS IS THAT the Daughters are prophesying.. Dont you See!!! The Handmaidens are Prophesying!!!! THIS IS THAT.
17‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.
19I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath:
Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
21And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.’
We know that there is more to be fulfilled, the very last of the last days as seen in Revelation concerning the sun turned into darkness. As in many other prophecies about Jesus first coming and second coming together in the same passage.
We have the beginning of this prophesy starting here and it will culminate with the sun and moon details in the future but the Outpouring of the Spirit part started then and the ALL FLESH included gentiles but they did not know it until Cornelius house, what they
did discover on this day is that it included WOMEN.
Y'all need to catch up with the program. It has been going on for 2000 years. Women are also called to minister in the power of the Holy Ghost. And many of them have been doing so since that day.
The good news is that God empowers women with His spirit, they speak in tongues, interpret, prophesy, and preach and teach the Bible and there is nothing those with bad hermeneutics can do about it. Absolutely nothing.
And they still have to love these women and accept them as sisters in the Lord or they are walking in darkness.
