Gaming Double Standard?

Dumbest thing I heard today. Trying to find some DS games with female leads in them. Come across this site where people are trying to drill the idea into some girl's head (who only had the same simple question as I did) that it doesn't matter the gender of the protagonist.

"You're selling yourself short for not playing games with male protagonists just because of the gender. The gender doesn't really matter." One of them says.

Next thing that is said. "The lead in most games are male because that is the majority of gamers these days."

So wait... The lead in most games are male because most gamers are male? To you who said that I say, "Why do they have to be male?" Why does it matter hmm? Gender doesn't matter. Developers, go ahead and make more games with female protagonists and the guys can play games with some female protagonists then since gender doesn't matter anyways! Stupid double standard...
