Why do so many women write fantasy novels? (thelemmy.club)

I was going through "fantasy books" on amazon and was surprised to see that most of them are written by women, and the ratio is not even close. I was kind of expecting the opposite.

Does anyone know why this might be the case?

There are way more men in Sci-fi so it probably balances out. And are you referring to all published fantasy or the top writers?
