I'd like to make the comment that the database for this study is this fanfic board. Now, without detailed analysis of members gender's I think it is safe to say that the female readers and writers have a large majority over the male readers and writers here.
If there were more Lois deathfics than Clark deathfics on this board I would expect it to be due to the prevalence of female writers and cannot be extended to the general populace.
We write fantasy cloaked in the costume of a superhero and a human female's relationship. Most of we women are more interested in seeing and writing about a man grieving for us than the other way around.
It's the same way we like Clark to take the lead in the romance department. There have been fine stories where Lois is the super one, but the romance still plays out in the more traditional manner, IIRC, because that's our fantasy.
