Lack of information or misleading information has a lot to do. Women also are inclined to take less risks, and believe in the notion that you can also lose a lot of money from gambling, so they're more reserved.

Most women in our society have preference over men at many positions (jobs), which is why they're taking advantage on that. Women also are meant to be more how to say feminine, which is why you see more of them in nursing and teaching positions. Women also tend to be more ambitious due to their earlier development, so they end up finishing colleges and universities.

Bottom line, women unlike men don't have to think as much about poker as an income, because by the time they are in mid 20's most have some career, but if times like these with Covid I wouldn't be surprised if more women are getting involved, after all women need more money, since they do spend more on things like make up, skin care, clothing, travel, etc.
