No I'm not. "Female figures do not sell" is the generalisation.

"Female figures do not sell" requires gender to be the key factor. If this were true then no male figure could ever pegwarm because a male figure cannot simultaneously be a female figure, and if a male figure pegwarms then some other factors beyond gender MUST be at play.

Likewise if no female figure could ever sell well because if they do then factors other than gender MUST be in play. McF Classic Wonder Woman CANNOT have sold out online within hours (and be hard to find at retail) if female figures do not sell. But she did, because she is popular. If a female figure sells because the character is popular then gender cannot be the key factor.
