Cows cant tank?

I just realized that I have never seen a Female Tauren tank before. I was going through Mulgore and just happened to see a Cow Warrior, and it made me do a double take. I'm used to seeing Bulls tank all the time, but for some reason can never remember seeing a cow tank before (except for this one time a female Druid tanked, didn't realize it till after seeing as how she was in bear form.)
Is it just because of the stereotype "Males Should tank because they are stronger?"

I think it's just a matter of cows not being very popular. I still have plans of levelling a female tauren shaman at some point, just because I can :D

No, the female version of Taurens is generally disliked, just like
female Dwarves
, Trolls and Orcs.

Am I bad for being a girl and liking how female Tauren/Trolls/Dwarves look? >_>
I mean, they all have at least
ONE
good face to pick from.
But I agree with Dobbel. Female orcs are ugly.

In my old guild, there was a female tauren warrior tank.
Of course, she left for the military...

There are plenty of female Tauren, just not many warriors among them. It's not that the race is unpopular so much as (and this is going to sound sexist, but I don't mean it to be) women seem to shy away from the tanking role. There are certainly women who do, and do it well, but I've met very few.
Male Tauren look impressive when decked out in plate, and the females aren't one of the "pretty races." So I think a lot of guys that might otherwise try out playing a female just opt for the male in this case.

Back on subject, its not that Tauren women can't tank, nor is it that they rarely are seen tanking, I know many druids who tank and a few Death Knights (all types here). But msot of the time when someone things of a Tauren warrior, they think of the men, its just how things seem to go. It happens a lot with all the Horde races, there are very few non-male Warrior tanks in the Horde.
You're right about this. When referring to tanks in my previous post, I meant warrior tanks. I've met several female druid tanks, and a few death knights here and there. Warriors (even dps to a lesser extent) seem to be the rare occurence.
