Kuroshitsuji: Female Shinigamis?

Does anyone know or have a theory why there are no female shinigamis? I am refering to shinigami who actually reap the souls of the dead. The only girl mentioned in the Shinigami Dispatch has a desk job. What gives? Thanks to whoever answers!

Update:

Before anyone mentions Death Note please look up at the words in bold. I am refering to the anime Kuroshitsuji or otherwise known as Black Butler.

    Im thinking because Black Butler is 50% fan service. Thats probably why they make every character who is female annoying (Lizzie), or the bad guy (madam red, the queen, and that angel who keeps switching genders). i think the only cool female in black butler is Hannah, but i think shes evil too....

    so by putting in female shinigamis, that would ruin the fan service, "almost gay", relationship barriers

    Presumably, there are a lot of soul reapers. But we only ever see MOSTLY 3 (Grell, Ronald, and William).

    It's not like the creators are sexist, it's just that between Grell and Sebastian and you name any other couple, there is SO MUCH fanservice geared towards girls that it would be silly to stick a girl in there JUST to avoid being sexist.

    And if you think about it, Madame Red, Doll, Lizzy's mom, and even Lizzy give such a great dynamic to the story with their strong characters that concerning yourself with the fact that we've yet to see a female shinigami is a little silly.

    The germany shinigami Sasha from chapter 102/103 of the manga, there s also the theory that Claudia Phantomhive is a shinigami, once said Ciel probably see Shinigamis because he is close to death or it s because his family, and a image with Claudia s name is showed (observe the page 5 of the chapter).

    uhh... are the people above me referring to death note?

    anyway, i'm not sure, but i think it's cause majority of the people that read kuroshitsuji are girls right? and most girls prefer to see guys rather than girls. i personally like the male characters more than the girls =)
