Presumably because it's a safek whether women are obligated in havdalah,
which is why a woman can't be motzi a man.  If women are exempt, then
girls are not b'not chinuch, and if she drinks it then nobody is yotzei,
even if one holds that a katan ben chinuch is enough a part of the
mitzvah to be motzi people by drinking it.
