If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn't they make up around 50% of the main characters?

I think that wanting equality over men/women % of MC is not something you would want to focus on I would rather have a quality story and universe whatever of the gender of the MC.

( I will clarify my point , I am an human therefore I am for gender equality obviously but I don't think that this metric is the most interesting )

I mean, I agree. But, based on that argument, it's totally fine if 100% of pre-created MCs are women then, since it's only the story and universe that are important (and I would be 100% a-ok with that happening).
