For me, just because there are more stories that have Lois be dead than Clark, does not automatically mean that those authors - nor the readers who enjoy the story - think of Lois as any less worthy than Clark.
No, it doesn't "automatically" mean that (not sure how you're using 'automatically here) - but it doesn't mean that they don't subconsciously feel that she is less worthy either.
Each of us brings our individuality and experience to how we perceive any pattern and the reasons for it. As well, what we write and how we read is a reflection of how we've been conditioned - the values and attitudes we each hold.
It is a pattern that's out there: there are more Lois death fics. It's reasonable to ask *why* the pattern exists, as it is with any pattern.
