There are two things you said that I disagree with, each for different reasons.

1: You state she should focus on things like the "only female offspring issue". I'll actually both agree and disagree with you there. You're correct that it's definitely a major issue. The thing is, she is focused on that issue. Unfortunately, the only way she can correct that problem is to gain more power. And the only way she has of gaining that power is, in typical cray MGE logic, for more monsters to have sex with their men. What that ultimately means is that her current course is, with regards to that specific issue, the correct course.

It may not make sense to us in normal, real world logic, but in MGE logic, she's doing the right thing. Her power comes from sex. Therefore, she needs her minions to have more sex. Therefore, she needs her minions to get out there, rape some men, and convert some women. That's the only way for her to generate the power she needs to accomplish her goals.

2: You state that if monsters weren't raping men and converting women into monsters, more humans would side with them willingly. That statement, I have no option but to disagree with in its entirity.

Why? Because at the end of the day, most humans don't know anything about the monsters except what the Church and Order tell them. The Church are the major players in human politics, and they keep a stranglehold on information about the monsters (for an example, just look at the introductory page of the first book, where it states that just carrying the book is a potential death sentence). In point of fact, the Order goes so far with it that if a man is forcibly raped, he can't admit it in public because being raped by a monster is a death sentence.

If you disseminate factual information about monsters, the Order will execute you. If you willingly associate with monsters, the Order will execute you. If you are raped by a monster, the Order will execute you. There is no room for fuzzy, cuddly "Kumbaya Milord"s.

As such, the average human does not know, and will not learn, the truth regarding monsters. They believe, and will always believe, that monsters murder, maim, and eat people. Why? Because there's no way for them to learn otherwise.

Are there exceptions? Yes. Why? Because sometimes monsters move covertly in Order territory. But by and large, what I've said is the truth of the matter. And that leaves the monsters with only one option in most situations. Force.
