Most likely because the emperor, whose DNA the primarchs (also male) were based off of, and thus all those genitor glands, was male.
The IG has plenty of females, but they like the tau aren't really shown as when you get to minis scale (or normal infantry in real life when fully equipped) you can't fucking tell the difference if they don't speak, which your little plastic people cannot do. Regiments are often split by gender to avoid having to use command vehicles or commissars as daycares in longer missions, but it happens, and everyone is quite professional within the limits that anyone can be. They're only human after all. But there's less female regiments since its a voluntary army to begin with, the 'tithe' being taken from the PDFs (that tithe part past the PDF is a little less voluntary perhaps).
Eldar are pretty much half and half, and most of them in the videogames are female if they're in charge.
Tau are probably half and half but since they have less defined secondary sexual characteristics no one can fucking tell what with that armor. Although given their breeding scheduling and all that, probably less of a deal is made about any offspring that result from a hop between some planets, so long as it doesn't prevent those that did it from screwing who they've also been assigned to. Does leave you wondering just how strict the 'no intercaste' parts are though, given there has to be SOME intermingling or they'll really split off into entirely different species. |
