It has come to my shocking observation that many of you think the whole Akatsuki are men. They are NOT. As a matter a fact, Deidara is the only woman on the team thus far in the manga. I know this for two reasons. One, Sasori says something about a "husband", and considering the fact that Deidara was the only person there beside his puppets, and he was talking to her, makes clear fact that Deidara is FEMALE.
Two, there is also proof at Below is the exact information. Granted the grammer is messed up, scrawled per say, but it states she's the only one, or one of a few. Please do your digging and collect facts before going off and mauling me, because I do have information to back my stories.
