The article is not very fair. Bioware develops RPGs, where it's normal for you to be able to play who and how you want. The two examples given of people complaining over the lack of playable female characters are not RPGS. Assassin's Creed Unity let's you play a defined character, not "your" character, not "you", but the character that Ubisoft decided to create. I didn't see any men crying that they had to play a female if they wanted to play Assassin's Creed Liberation.
And Deep Down also is not an RPG. Since the game isn't out, I can't say how much personalization is going to be available, but even if only playing a male is a result of them not wanting to spend extra resources making female graphics, that is their choice. Your are not going to be role-playing, you are gong to be playing a game in a world that they've created.
Nobody is complaining that games like Hell Blade, Life Is Strange, or other recently announced games will only let you play as female protagonists. But god forbid a game only have a playable male character, even when they are not RPGs and are not meant to be played as "your" character.
