This hasn't been true for quite a while. In Sentai, the primary suit actor for a core female ranger hasn't been male in 10 years. In the last 22 years, it's only happened five times (YellowBuster, GokaiYellow, BoukenYellow, BoukenPink, GaoWhite).

I think the rest of your point still stands, though. The designers do make choices that help balance the proportions. Helmets for the ladies tend to have less extreme protrusions and fewer large embellishments than the ones for the men, even if the overall base size of the helmets is the same.

I think it also has to be said that the proportions of the male and female bodies in the Lightning Collection are not at all show-accurate. The male base bodies are WAY larger than the male suit actors' real bodies, so as figures, the difference in helmet sizes between the men and women becomes even more exaggerated. In reality, the size difference between a male suit actor and a female suit actor is not nearly as extreme, which definitely minimizes the proportional differences between them.
