It's because it is now considered (more) socially acceptable for women to take an interest in historically masculine things/exhibit feminine behaviour. You do not need to be a gay woman to appreciate a film about a "tomboy". This doesn't work the other way around though, no one is really interested in films about boys/men doing historically feminine things/exhibiting feminine qualities. It's considered gay and weird/creepy, unless it's specifically played for laughs.
Like think about any famous film about a girl or a woman and then imagine if it would be successful with a male lead. It probably wouldn't, unless you massively overhaul the character and plot.
