Why such little Female representation in POE 2 classes?

Too much dudes can we have more females for a change?

We need gender equality.

No, we do not need forced (equality of outcome) gender equality in video games. We need artistic freedom. We have games with female leads, we have games with male leads, we have games with a majority of fame representation and we have games that are male dominated. Every game does not need to be split 50/50. That would be boring (and small).
Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.
For Females, so far we have: Witch, Ranger, Huntress, Sorceress
For Males, so far we have: Warrior, Mercenary, Monk, Druid

So far we have an equal number for both sexes.
Dont Concorde the boat
If I had a baited expectations div card would it be appropriate for me to link it in this thread?

Duelist, Templar, Shadow, and Marauder are all also either confirmed male via shared concept art or interview. Eight men to four women. The one removed class that no longer appears in PoE2 - the Scion - was a woman, while four men and two women were added for a total of +4 D00ds to only +1 net Gurl. The Sorceress and Huntress are also each essentially identical to their PoE1 counterparts, with no differentiation whatsoever in their characterizations, presentations, or anything else while characters like the Monk, Mercenary, and Druid are quite strongly distinct from their PoE1 counterparts.

It quite sucks. And the fact that Certain People keep saying the issue is just entirely unimportant and anyone upset by it is just a bad-faith loser with an Agenda(C) to Push sucks even harder. Like, how dare people have different priorities based on their own desires and experiences. And how dare we question Grinding Gear's Artistic Freedom and Expression in a game where we can slap Mardi Gras costumery on every equipment slot and wander the demon-infested wastes of Wraeclast as Chuckles_the_Murder_Clown. Or, y'know, be Shitstain Steve for a bunch of leagues and achieve meme status in Delve.
Obviously a bait post to get reactions. Don't fall for it.

I'll save judgement until all classes are set in stone. Even then, I won't care much, because sex and gender is the last thing that is important in a video game.
Hell, if the game is good, I'd play as a trash can if that's the only option available.
Video games are supposed to be an escape from reality, not a weird copy of it.

But, for better or worse, people seem to obsess over this, so we'll be plagued for eternity with discussions such as these.
the issue is important ... in your head. that is sure.
