A lot of women enjoy playing male characters for the same reasons that men enjoy playing female characters. There are a lot of fujoshis lurking on this game...

There's also a lot of guys that play male characters as a kind of self-insert. You'll actually meet a lot of tough guy e-daters that play male au'ra/viera because they think doing so will allow them to attract women. I think it's this particular subset that really gave rise to the Au'ra groomer stereotype. A lot of the really early rp venues were run by creepy male au'ra dudes back in the pre-DC travel days.

Sidenote, as a long-time Lalafell player, I will say that the lalafell community pretty much deserves its reputation. Sooooooo many pedos have been outed over the years.
