They’re less represented in those lines and so it increases their value. This is down to core character vs non-core. There are more expensive females in Friends, just as there are more expensive males. That is down to scarcity rather than gender. The core characters (at least in the original Friends) were all female and core characters get repeated a lot and so are cheap. So on average, the female ones are cheaper. But that is not because they are female, it is because the ones that are heavily repeated as core characters are female.
