It's probably that most bands with female singers suck. The same can be true of bands with male singers, but there are a lot more bands that have male singers. There are like, three bands with female singers. And one of them sucks, on of them is 'meh', and one of them is good.

I guess you mean three mainstream bands Demos, because I can name like ten bands with female singers just off the top of my head. Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis' other band (can't think of the name), Metric, New Pornographers, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Animal Collective. Plus probably about a dozen smaller bands from around Canada I can't be bothered to think of.
Low and Iron and Wine both have female backup singers.
As for mainstream bands, there are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Donnas (who are absolutely fucking god awful), obviously Bjork (who I include just because of the style of music she makes). Plus obviously some shitty bands for retards like Evanescence and No Doubt and all that shit, I won't even mention those.

And I should note that although I don't really warm to the sort of warm and fuzzy alt-country/folk shtick Rilo Kiley do, Jenny Lewis is probably one of the best vocalists in popular music right now, period.
New Pornographers are fantastic. Matador Records have a good complement of bands under their label at the moment.
