I think it's OK in moderation, but I also understand that many people have a problem with it. It is more difficult to identify with a female lead as a man than it is to identify with a male lead as a woman (there have been studies on this) However I'm not commenting on personal opinions, I'm simply stating that just because claim something as standard doesn't mean that you should  dismiss dissenting opinions, and what you may consider standard isn't any better just because it is standard. 

What a load of bullshit

There have been studies on this. It is a fact whether you like it or not. Men show a larger preference for male leads than do females for female leads in fiction.
