The opposite would be a dude joining a book club or something (I'm not very good at stereotyping female social activities) to pick up chicks and skipping on reading books, analysis and talking about books. Well, that's what the author has in mind... and that would lead to sorority members joining in to make fun of the other women and to pick up dudes. Of course, that doesn't happen and women definitely don't join games for attention. They also want some bit of that 'a small team of enlightened heroes violently overcome The Enemy and assert the correctness of their world-view by use of force', 'cos it's fun.

Also, you can overcome the queering conlfict of everything you do being racist/patriarchist/colonialist by rolling for every aspect of the world, thus randomly generating a society... or by not caring.
