Why so many men like to play with a female character? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm not judging, I'm genuinely curious. The reason why I'm asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I'm just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.

Self-inserts are fine, but severely limit the scope of your roleplaying. I play as men and women, and make characters with their own specific drives, flaws, and strengths.

I also occasionally make my partner and play as her, which might be weird for some but I like it from time to time.
