As far as I am aware, Japanese social culture is not like the American social culture - there is not a large push to change "boys" and "girls" properties in to "kids" properties like there is here. There doesn't seem to be as much of a push for "removal of gender identities" like you see here.
That being said, Japan still has "boys" shows and "girls" shows, and Super Sentai is a "boys" show, so it will always cater to what you envision boys to like - male heroes, lots of explosions, big robots, etc.

Oh boy here we go. Let me go get my Bizzare Angel Thesis:
Quote:
Probably, and if girls played more like boys.
And no, I don't mean "girls don't like conflict," that's bubkis. I mean "boys on average prefer physical conflict and girls on average prefer social conflict." Boys love seeing stufc like the Duel of Melons because it's an intense awesome battle between two armored warriors but girls would be more invested in the reason WHY the Kureshima brothers were fighting, why they were fighting and how they are handling the Cain and Abel conflict. Obviously over time kids mature and can appreciate the social interaction (men watching SoL and mahou shojo anime) and conflict for the sake of conflict because it kicks ass (a gamergirl going full agro and pwning n00bs in her Overwatch death match livestream). But initially, kids naturally gravitate to their gender's particular conflict camp and you can't really forcibly change that. Just make something good that bridges the gaps and hope for the best. Ask Matrixbeast, he knows that idea well~ |

I'm pretty sure the only genders in Kyuranger are Lucky and unlucky.
But seriously, I don't think the number of female rangers makes any Sentai sexist, it just doesn't help. This is more of a case by case type of thing that depends more on the writing and directing than a quantity. |

Super sentai is a male show but I think that if they gave the females in super sentai more screen time or better character development then maybe girls can get into super sentai. I feel like expanding the show to females too would be great but they can still make the males the leaders. More girls can look up to these females in super sentai.

Can't see why Sentai shouldn't pander to the female audience as well, especially since writers are indeed capable of writing some powerful female characters that aren't just the pretty princess of the team (e.g.: Tsuruhime from Kakuranger or Jun from Bioman).

Personally though, the addition of plush dolls for Zyuohger and Kyuranger raises an eyebrow. Those are the type of thing you see for girl's shows or shows that appeal to both. |

I don't think I've ever seen anything that states the percentage of sales towards Japanese women and girls specifically.

It's not sexist. It is a boy targeted show. Also women on average are not interested in combat roles so naturally there will be more men than women in combat. If women en large are involved in a show with combat it would be in a fantasy based show like Sailor Moon. And thank god for these as it lets children of either gender with similar interest play together with toku toys.
