Why does LoL have so many female players?

Does anyone else find this strange at all? Most girls don't usually like playing online games, let alone killing people last time I checked. What makes LoL attract a female audience?

Oh yeah cool tweet I found in my news feed

Gender scripts are silly. Do what you want, and stop getting hung up on arbitrary nonsense.

"Why are girls--?" No. Just, no. Just stop it with your. Stupid. Utter. Shallow. Nonsense.

There's are more girls than you think. But most of them never reveal their gender to prevent being harassed by hormones-filled boys

First 2 comments are pretty spot on. But applies to other games too like WoW

Their boyfriends play league and the girls' curiosity makes them wonder why LoL is so fun. They try it out. Best couple ever.

Only logical explanation i can come up with
