I think this is widely agreed with but the general response on the forums has been "just buy one from the market board" .. which isn't really encouraging players to interact.
Aside from unknown avatar gender ratios on the servers it has also been discussed that many male avatars don't seem interested in doing the event and that there are implied societal expectations.
For players with accounts that allow multiple characters, creating an alt and power leveling just to run the event is a possibility but seems a silly need. I've created one just in case anyone in our FC needs help finishing the event.

Case in point, there were several threads about this last week. Some of them are still floating around. I tried a melodramatic humorous one about the distressing price of chocolate. There was another good one about about Buying-love-the-sad-state-of-eorzean-romance
