The girls are out there. Surveys and censuses have shown this. The whole question seems misdirected; whilst males do not brag about their awesome VP gardens or how they had a perfect run on a singing game, girls do not brag about their killing sprees.
The question is not "why does gender X not do activity Y", but "why do genders X and Y feel unable to discuss their enjoyment of activities Y and X?"
Give a young boy a doll, or give a young girl an action figure, and they can have a lot of fun - until someone tells them how they should play, and targets them with shiny pink or blue cliches.
(by the way, stereotyping male gamers as unattractive social misfits with no experience of female company is just as bad)
