Its not really for any intended offensive reason. Having all ninjas as women adds variety to the battlefield and feeds on the, lets face it, accurate belief that women are faster and more agile, but not as strong or as resilient to injury (ok the last one is unrealistic, think of it as video game logic). Having them as ninjas allows them to use their strengths better and the shape of the female figure gives the ninjas a unique silhouette, which is the first thing you notice in an enemy. If the silhouette of each enemy if different, you immediatly know how to deal with them. Thats way Team Fortress 2 have characters with different silhouettes.
