The difference in preference between genders is present, but likely only because of societal factors, with studies suggesting that young boys and girls enjoy a spectrum of toys when presented without prejudice by their parents.

The sad thing is, a Sentai where female members outnumbered male would probably perform worse, but only for the above reason. Hell, I never watched The Little Mermaid as a child for the simple reason that, with a female character front and centre on the video box, I surmised that it wasn't FOR me...
