Also, keep in mind a lot of the humour that Himaruya is employing. Count the number of time France has molested other countries. Male on female, that's totally rape... (Subverted in that he does try it with Seychelles once in a while.) Male on male? It's humour. (Or fanservice if you're a yaoi-loving teenage girl, which an overwhelmingly large portion of the fanbase is.) Double standard, indeed, but undeniable. It wouldn't work as well if he started introducing more female characters in prominent roles.

Coupled with the fact that has been mentioned before, that he simply prefers drawing males. I'm the same way. I can't draw women to save my life. They're much too curvy to comply with my boxy style. They look like men with lumps on their chests. So I can most definitely understand where he's coming from there.
