I’m going to level with you; I see way too many off-kilter saddles.
Perhaps, occasionally, due to certain peculiarities, a cyclist may opt to tilt their seat a degree or two up or down. However, the majority of riders will be most comfortable with a level fulcrum propping their pistons, in order to avoid the perils of perineal pustules.
Saddle manufacturers of all stripes build their products to be horizontally positioned.
This includes Brooks saddles, despite claims by some owners that they need to tip the nose up in order to stop themselves from sliding forwards. If you have this problem, there’s something else wrong with your bike fit.
Don’t take it from me; here’s one of the oldest and most respected companies in the business on correct saddle fitment.

As a fond admirer of ischial tuberosities and the surrounding tissues,I share your concern. Vive le difference, saddle fit is very important to the feminine riders.
