In mythology, and let's use the Greeks for an example; if you're female, you're either Paris of Troy, who does fuck all but has blokes warring around her, or you're Medea, at best mindraped by a god, and at worst a horrifying harpy who'll murder her own kids if she's told the standard "sure, of course i love you, yeah, you're the only one for me" lie to get some nookie, or you're one of the Amazons, who're proud warriors whose only role is to be kidnapped or murdered by the score by a bloke who's being set up to be a hero, or you're Medusa, who either bangs a god or is raped (though if a greek god is propositioning you, your consent isn't relevant), and then is turned into a horrifying monster, and then is killed by yet another bloke being set up for hero-dom.
If you don't genderbend, your choice for waifus is slim, to say the least.
