Why was there no female minion?
In the 3 minion movies i.e. Despicable Me 1, Despicable Me 2 and Minions, all the minions were male characters (including maid Phil :P). Why was not a single female minion character present?
Best Answer
There are no female minions, apparently.
There's an article in The Wrap from July titled
‘Minions’ Creator Pierre Coffin on Why None of His Animated Little Yellow Helpers Are Female
In it, it is explained:
For the French animator, who co-directed the new film with Kyle Balda, the masculine-only nature of the Minions owes to their all-around cloddishness. “Seeing how dumb and stupid they often are, I just couldn’t imagine Minions being girls,” he told TheWrap.
As to their ability to reproduce the article says:
Coffin has said that the creatures cannot reproduce or divide themselves, leading to at least two competing theories.

Why are Minions all male?
It's unusual for a movie to rely so heavily on a cast of males, but Minions creator Pierre Coffin says it's thanks to their general cloddishness. \u201cSeeing how dumb and stupid they often are, I just couldn't imagine Minions being girls,\u201d Coffin told TheWrap.How did Minions reproduce?
According to evolutionary biologist JV Chamary, the Minions probably had to have reproduced sexually. Why? Science says that the Minions' genetic diversity wouldn't be possible if they reproduced asexually, so they had to have gotten busy in some way or another.Which minion is the dumb one?

They're depicted as existing as far back as \u201cthe beginning of time\u201d, surviving millions of years before Despicable Me even took place. We then got screenwriter Brian Lynch confirming on Twitter exactly what the movies imply: that minions are immortal, and they cannot die.MINIONS BUT WITHOUT MINIONS
