Yes this topic is pointless.
However, I would point this out in club snap: Demand and supply.
For men, most of us got into photography probably because of good marketing creating a demand. The manufacturers repeatedly use machoism synonymns in order to sell their products, such as 'tough', 'reliable', 'speed'.
Sad to say, few ever enter it soley because they want good photographs. Then again, that's very much my opinion.
Ever heard of a nikon or canon DSLR labelled 'sleek', 'sexy', or anything else?
And as goes, there is a DEMAND for female models by men who have these machines. So of course the modelling agencies would arrange for more girls to flaunt their stuff instead of guys. Do women demand model agencies for guys? They probably could get the men themselves.
Hence this topic is a dead horse. There is nothing to support the theory that women love to flaunt and men are more inclined to be gifted in shooting than simple demand and supply. The latter is pretty much simplified of course, but it's not an analysis. Just an observation.

Supply and Demand is about the invisible hand balancing the economy. We are not discussing about pricing or market trend in this thread. Therefore, it is not related to this topic. If you really want to apply economic principle here, maybe can try using the indifference curve. For example: I am willing to give up one can of Pepsi to look at a male (in trunk) portrait, I am willing to give up five can of Pepsi to look at a female (in bikini) portrait. Both choices give me the same level of satisfaction. By counting the average number of Pepsi needed to trade off for looking at each portrait, maybe we will have a better answer.

Marketing is for Product, Photography is a hobby and life style. We can promote photography through campaigning (eg. Photography is good and beneficial for you) but very less through marketing. Now, it is like you are saying the manufacturer is so good at marketing that got you to buy a camera without having a purpose. Now, I have bought this camera, what to do with it? Got no choice, but to pickup photography.

Got too much to say, but will keep it short. “Tough”, “Reliable” and “Speed”, these terms are used to described the products, having bought this product does not make one a macho man. A lady will also want to buy a product that is tougher, more reliable and perform faster, isn’t it?

Since it is very much about your opinion, let’s skip this line.

Who knows one day we will have SLR as compact as today's PnS, built specially for our ladies.

Female models are in demand for most of the events, eg: Comex; Roadshows; Car Shows ect..
And you say men with these machines DEMAND female models, why?? Are you implying female models are better than male models. More demand means the product is better right? Or, would you like to explain why men with machines demand for female models?

Sure is dead horse, if you sum it all up as simple supply and demand.
OK continue here.
