Sometimes I want to play as myself (party games, giving Link my name, ect,) sometimes I want to have a change of pace from the usual muscled males so I pick a female character. Sometimes the female character has more useful abilities (Peach's hover). Sometimes the female character is Jennifer Hale (Mass Effect). Sometimes the female character is better suited for the narrative of the game (certain Fire Emblem Awakening scenes).
Once you can play Metroid or FF13 without caring that the main character is a woman there is no reason to care whether you make a 'choose your character' female outside of the considerations specific to that game.
