Caveat to the above: as long as there are others around to interact
with and options. The success of Tomb Raider as a series has shown
that men and boys do not mind playing the female. The same is true
of Metroid Prime. In these instances, again, the gender of the
avatar has no effect on gameplay.  The key difference with a
multiplayer game is the reactions of other players to the options
you've chosen.
