I heard it's because they are shorter, and since the heart-brain distance is shorter they can deal with higher G forces.
Haven't confirmed if that's actually true. Though even if it is; not passing out as easily during some manouvers seems to be at best just one of many aspects that makes a pilot good.

If that's the case that sounds like an argument for shorter male fighter pilots.
