Who you play as in a game

Just a short post today. I've been thinking about a forum post I was just reading about playing as a female in games while being a man. Now some people said that this was a bad thing to do as you shouldn't play as the opposite gender to yourself. I didn't quite understand this viewpoint as I can't through fireballs either so does that mean I shouldn't play mage? Also I can't run for more than a minute, fire weapons accurately, drive cars/boats/helicopters/planes or sneak at all. Actually scratch that last one. What I'm trying to say is a game is much like a book or a film. I am not the character in it I just control them and so should be able to play what ever character I feel like.
Any thoughts?
