Personally, it's more that so much writing, especially in fantasy, is male-dominated, and I'd like to see an equal amount of prominent male and female characters to represent the world as it actually is: full of dynamic, brilliant people of all genders, sexualities, races, etc.

As a woman, I do definitely feel the lack of female representation. Prominent (and well-written) female characters allow me to better relate. They fuel me to root for her. But also, many authors feel it is enough to have one woman in a sea of men, and that doesn't feel realistic.

Exactly! I was trying to say something similar, but you said it better. It needs to be realistic and believable. If there's a legit reason why there's a sea of dudes, then fine. But, if there isn't, then there should be a decent amount of female characters.

Also, a more diverse and balanced cast (token 2D characters with little significance don't count) will appeal to a wider range of people/demographics, opening up your audience. A more functional way of looking at it, but still.

So often in fantasy it's one of these two scenarios: 1. The leads/most well-written and developed characters are men, and there are maybe a few 2D women supporting them 2. The lead is female, but everyone else is male, and she's treated as something of an oddity

There's a degree to which I agree with the 'if it makes sense then fine' thing, but also I'd be more interested in reading work where the author hasn't penned themselves in to writing only about men by merit of their premise -- where the premise is inclusive from the get go
