I completely agree with you here. I don't like the idea of each gender having it's own strengths and weaknesses. I do feel that if any game should introduce the option to customise your character (choose your face, gender, looks, etc.), it should remain as an aesthetic rather than reflect the real-world strengths/weaknesses of different genders.
Come to think of it, I do recall someone from the Fable 2 forums mention that nowadays, there seem to be a number of games that reflect and potray real-life issues (be it social or political). If I recall correctly, I did notice that in some of them [can't remember which game(s)] but in my opinion, it is much preferable if they (the developers) leave these real-life issues out of any game they develop. We're playing games for entertainment. Not to think about social and political issues.
Anyway, back on topic.
