It's a problem for you because you don't want these sorts of "fantasy" leagues. It may be seen as a benefit by others, though, who want to make leagues that, for example, include women.

It seems to me like this is an argument about what the focus of OOTPBB should be. On the one hand, there are those who would prefer OTTPBB to think of itself as a "traditional" baseball simulation to the exclusion of options that seem unlikely (or impossible) in the real world. If this is your vision for the game, then indeed the option to make a women's league might seem "silly." On the other hand, there are those who would prefer (or at least wouldn't object to) the option to create "non-traditional" leagues. Many in this camp use the customization options already present in the game to create these sorts of leagues.

Ultimately, these decisions about the direction of the game are obviously in the hands of the developers, but it is interesting for me to hear about the different ways that people play the game. While the game presently isn't designed around these "non-traditional" leagues, there are obviously those who use the game's customization options to play it that way. I personally play mostly present-day fictional leagues that I design myself, but more power to those who employ their creative energies to make more "non-traditional" leagues. Cool stuff.
