I agree with Helene, it was not because the characters in the plays were suppose to be men masquerading as women. The fact is there were just no female actors around in Shakespeare's day,
so all parts had to be played by men.

At the time he wrote his plays, there were no female actors in Britain and probably elsewhere in Europe, so all of his female roles were played by men.
