But how many girls within Power Rangers intended age group do you know that watch it? Men and women watching it is all well and good, but they're all but a fraction of the overall audience for the show.

We may get the occasional female team leader (Kakuranger, Timeranger), but the red is the iconic role and I can't see Toei ever doing a permanent female Red (just like we'll never have a Kamen Rider show with a lead female Rider - or likely even a permanent secondary female Rider).

I'd be fine with a female red ranger (As long as there's not some contrived reason why she's red), but toy sales matter.

These are also both very good points. Yellow and Pink shelfwarm like there's no tomorrow over here.
