For one, there is a female majority when it comes to the player base in most roleplay communities. Some will play men, but I'd argue that most won't.
Likewise, a majority of men that roleplay tend to play as women, often for aesthetics or a change in perspective. Once again, there are exceptions, but typically this is the norm.
You combine those two factors together and you get the scenario that you see here and countless other MMOs.
For me? I am a lady IRL, and I prefer playing as one, as well. I'm not as gifted at writing for men as I am women, nor am I as interested in it in comparison. It's so undesirable for me that I honestly haven't even roleplayed a male character in years, three or four at the very least.
