I read an interview with the production staff a few weeks back that contained that tidbit. They even created a Kyoryu Yellow design but again the yellow on yellow didn't work in their eyes.

I figured that was the real reason, when the pics were leaked and the sash/shoulder pad thing had yellow teeth designs and the higher res pics showed that the helmets were lined in yellow, it wasn't difficult to piece together that, while it works as design accents on everyone else, they would just blend with a Yellow Kyoryuger and be nonexistent.

As for sexism, Sentai is a boy's show and figures of the women don't sell well.
It's not just Toei being sexist because they want to, it's them knowing what makes money.
