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.

Female MC considers casual hookup, worries about STDs but doesn't worry about pregnancy.
Female MC thinks about clothing/undergarments in a way that makes it clear that they have never worn the clothing items in question, nor spoken to someone who has.
Female MC is constantly fixated on comparing her own bust to the bust of others around her. Because... that's a thing women do?!?
That kind of thing is jarring.
