Why some men opt to play as women when given the option!

I don't get when people say they pick a female character because the ass they're staring at while playing might as well be girl's. I don't look at the player character's ass, female or not. The scenery is much more interesting, and the HUD much more informative.

I prefer playing as a guy because I get more immersed, and so I wouldn't look at the character unless I've donned a new shiny armor.

The guy in the article who spends hours sculpting the face of his waifu has problems.

Everyone has their reasons. I generally don't play as males because 1) its basically the defacto already and 2) looks to bland for my tastes. Granted gender doesn't really affect my immersion any more than skin color does. Its just preferance that became habit over the years for me. I honestly don't get why it matters? I agree that Women need a stronger presence, but at the same time those saying they're objectified are just being ridiculous. All video game characters are basically objectified more or less. I remember the armhair thing they showed for COD ghosts, come one seriously?
