Why so many men like to play with a female character? (self.cyberpunk2077)

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.

I think that having started playing this kind of game as a lean teenager, I subconsciously felt closer to the female form than the (more often than not) bulky bodybuilder.

Edit: you can probably attribute this to a reaction to toxic masculinity.
