Default cucumbers

hello,

I'm growing a few cucumbers this year from seed. The variety I chose
requires the male flowers to be removed. I've done this before & have no
problems.

My question ..... Why only remove the male flowers ? why not remove the
female flowers as well ? They clearly dont need to be pollinated ?

Thanks

KK
