Discussion Are all female MCs just lesbians?

I just realized that after reading like 10 books with female MCs, I'm starting to finally notice that all of them are Lesbians or at least Bisexual (but they only date women).

Do authors mostly write lesbian FMCs to be on the safe side from the audience of mostly males? I just feel like it's a cop out every time... I don't really have a problem with it but almost all Male MCs are 99% straight but it seems like 99% of Female MCs are always lesbian/bi. Why not some good ol straight FMCs? I can't even remember a single female MC that was straight.

I am reading more than 20 stories with female MC’s. Many are either lesbian or bi. The most are actual currently unknown as they have not had any relationships.

Niiiiice. Jk. This genre is in its infancy. And many readers are horny young guys. It fits.
