It's not just Minerva, in the 03 popularity poll ALICEMANLADY is also in the "Males and Others". Basically, if the character is female but not attractive, they go in that category. If Kichikuou had gender-segregated polls, Mary Ann and Madame Golch would probably go in the "Males and Others" too.

It really does make sense though, even if it is mean, since you'd judge an unattractive female character in an eroge entirely based on their personality and role, like you would a male character, while the cuteness/eroticness of an attractive female character plays a big role in your fondness of them. Minerva probably would've come in dead last if she were in the female poll, whereas in the male and others poll she's actually able to get the recognition she deserves for being a 10/10 villain and character.
