She's intrigued by the same things he is, yeah? Are we that "group" minded that girls will only do things if other girls are doing them?
Maybe. You could also add the fact that girls all too often hear they're male peers saying, "Girls can't do this/that/whatever", so, unless they see another girl doing this/that/whatever, they're left with the impression that they can't do something simply because they're girls. I suppose if they more often heard "Girls can do anything boys can do" or vice versa.
I don't know. Just more ramblings.
Don’t ask.
