Yes male was #1. Thing is that it's still glaringly obvious which models are male or female. One thing about WoW character models which is actually intrinsically "sexist" is that the non-human male characters actually look like non-human but they make all the females look like human females with secondary sex characteristics which you would expect from a traditional human beauty standard. Like they literally have a race of cow people but for some reason the female cows have a skinny frame with human breasts.

The only exception I've noticed are the humans which are presented as sailors. They are all a bit chubby and you can play a chubby female in that case.

This reminded me of EverQuest which was an older MMORPG from about 1999. It was heavily based on D&D and if you played a female dwarf you could have a beard.
