Unless a female player is a male player's partner, it can be quite difficult to get into many teams, and an "all-girl" team is sometimes the only way they can prove they have the skills to get selected for other teams. There are also a few advantages to having an all-female team, as it attracts a lot of attention and thereby more sponsorship than may be expected. Also talking from the point of someone who has captained both a mixed team (2 females and 10 males) and an all female team, I can tell you that there are some big differences in team dynamics and it can be lots of fun playing with all girlies.
I'll happily play on any team I can get a game with, but when I came back after a long break (5 years) I found no-one willing to give me a chance except an all-girls team despite me having played sucessfully at Am previously. Was this down to fitness? No, I was less mobile before I gave up for a while (which is one reason WHY I stopped for a bit). Was it because I didn't have the up to date equipment? Well with the loan of an Angel plus an Impulse from Smart Parts whenever I wanted, that was unlikely. Was it because I'm female & not particularly cute? Maybe, bearing in mind that male players in the same situation or with less advantages didn't have the same problem!
And Darkwerks - can you honestly be suggesting that I'm not willing to mix it up with guys as well as with girls? You really should know better than that!
