Because I like to play games as if it were me in that characters shoes, and make decisions that I would make in that situation (I always end up being some kind of neutral character as a result). I find this much easier when choosing male characters. I'll still play as female characters without issue in games where you're supposed to beplaying as a particular character with a backstory and such, like Mirror's Edge or Tomb Raider or something.
