OP here, I did mention [logical reason] to be a decent excuse to have an all-male cast, so it applies to an all-female cast as well.

Something like Sailor Moon and MLP have all-female casts because their intended purpose is to tell stories for girls from a girl perspective. Can't see anything wrong with that.

Stories with all-male (or mostly-male) casts however? They are "universal". Because men are seen as "universally relatable". It's a lame double standard that's still very visible in modern fiction. Try telling me that it isn't.

I hate it when a young aspiring creator has the same problems with representation that was common in the 50's.

Oh, DAMN, I was right.

This. When we get to the point where shows with mostly female casts aren't pegged as being only for girls or niche or somehow "revolutionary", then we can stop talking about this. Same with shows that have casts that are ethnically diverse.
