I'll admit I really really love that they're all female, and that's not an issue. They don't hate men, they don't envy men, there's no Big Political Statement on how their world doesn't have men and that's A Big Deal.

It just does. They don't have them. They're all ladies. No one questions it in the show. There's no big reason, no rule, no law, nothing to explain.

And so I think having male gems would take away from that because suddenly of course it's not a big deal, it's a 'normal' alien race just like humans.

But it's like... I haven't seen the show, but I saw a clip of Young Justice where they're explaining why this mission has to be all girls and the reasons it has to be all girls and so they put together an all-girl team and one of the characters point out "Would you bother justifying it if it was an all-guy team or would they just be normal?"

I like that it's the same level of normal for all the gems to be female and no one points it out.

This. Yes. I know a lot of shows that try to do the 'look here is a woman doing unwoman things but it's [current year] so what's wrong with you for thinking it's weird' trope are trying to be positive about it. But I like it a lot better when women can fight and be cool and nobody, not even asshole characters, thinks twice about that.
