Where are you getting your facts? Let me introduce you to Lucy C. Tabby a Red Classic Tabby and very much a girl.
The Red gene (O) is carried on the X chromosome; for this reason it is sex-linked. Males normally only have one X chromosome and so if a male carries the Red gene at all, he will be Red. Females have two X chromosomes; if both X chromosomes carry the Red gene, then the cat will be Red. However, many females carry the Red gene on only one chromosome, which allows the black-based pigmentation to show through in patches. This combination of red and black is called Tortoiseshell.
But some girl cats do have 2 Red genes and they are very pretty.

Why do you ask? You are doing some social experiment?
Oh, it is not true.
