how would this work on a women's bike with a slanted tube?

Exactly the same as on a men's bike but with the difference that the pouch would be at a downward angle.

It would basically work the same way just along the slanted angle. But the tube bag would still attach at the neck of the handle bars and then on the slanted section of the bike.

It has a bit of slack on mine for a thicker tube. if not, you can add a large Zip tie not only to fit it but to secure it from people taking it. I zip tie everything on my bike anyway. I live in NY.

We ordered the Allen crossbar adaptor for women's bikes, and it worked perfectly with this bike hitch. Didn't have any trouble with our daughter's bike, but it's possible that a cross-bar adaptor would work for that as well: Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adaptor

While that seems logical, it is not advisable. The clamp assemby is actually a saddle designed to balance the weight of the bicycle on top. At any other angle, the saddle is likely to move with every pothole, eventually finding balance in a very precarious position for your valuable bike. An adapter for girls bikes are very inexpensive and available at any bike shop. The adapter allows girls bikes to be mounted and properly balanced with the clamp in the proper upright position.

You'll most likely need a Yakima Top Tube adapter for most Women's bikes. (My wife's Hybrid needs the adapter) But, it mainly depends on whether or not the TOP TUBE on the bike is high parallel to the road like on most men's bikes. My friend has a men's Trek Mountain bike with a LOW top tube similar to a girls bike. His bike barely fit the rack without having to use the Top Tube adapter. Not sure on the kid's bikes however.

You can definitely make it work. The two "hooks" can be adjusted independently, so you can put one higher for the front and one lower for the back so the bike itself sits level.

No, you don't for a men's bike. You may need to if you have a slanted bar on a female's bike if you do not have an extension bar to evenly hold it on the rack.

It will work with a thick frame bike (one of my bikes is a Trek) but not sure without a cross tube.

If the bike has two slanted bars it might but if it's just one slanted bar, I don't see how it would work.

Place the women's bike on the bottom, experiment and you can get enough separation between the brackets and by pivoting the holders to make this work. This kept the bottom bike @ 4" off the floor and still leaves plenty room for the top bike. Attach to the wall!!!!

I don't quit understand the question you are asking concerning the seat tube or down tube. But I will respond as best as I can. I used this bottle cage on the handle bar area of my exercise bike, you can adjust the bottle cage to be in an upright position, as it shows in the photo, or you can adjust the release area to be sideways. I really hope this is helpful for you.

Yes, I have a women's step-through bike and this rack works very well for it.

We have an adult female bike and it fits fine. The female bike just sits at an angle

Although the bike cradles do rotate, it's not enough to accommodate a typical adult lady's bike. An added adapter bar for the girl's bike does work. The rack does not easily accommodate smaller bikes since the cradle/rack may be to big to fit through the center of the smaller bike without considerable effort.

I'm able to secure kid's bikes without a tension bar. It probably will hold a woman's bike but the bike will not be in level position without a tension bar,

It should if the tube that the seat slides into will hold it securely. Most exercise bikes have adjustable seats similar to bikes that are used outdoors. The seat angle can generally be adjusted to tilt more or less to keep the rider from sliding forward or backward while peddling. The other primary adjustment is the seat height, accomplished by sliding the seat post into the upright tube on the bike - standard stuff. There are only two possible issues to be aware of; 1) The seat post MUST be tight enough in the tube so that when the clamp at the top of the tube is tightened, the seat height will be maintained. If not, a good full service bike shop should be able to fit adapters to the post, tube, or both. It's not a big deal. 2) Due to the size of the seat, it works best when the extra support bars are used (actually one metal tube shaped like a long upside down 'U'). The seat comes with this U tube already attached to the seat. The bottoms of this bracket are normally attached to the rear axle of a street bike. Whether or not they can be attached to YOUR exercise bike remains to be seen. You might want to check whether the rear brackets of the seat will attach to your bike before ordering the seat because the brackets do make a big difference. Good luck. If it will work on your bike you'll love the seat.
