I think it may come down to more of Japan's culture. Many of their folktales, anime, and shows feature men as the Warriors, and when they are injured in battle, there is usually a woman to heal them. It was probably more natural (and easier to have a love interest) for them to have a female as the one helping the warrior in battle.
That being said, I don't think this would (should) offend anyone. My ex and I were the opposite. She loved the destruction of the Dark Knight and Black Mage (and I'm talking, like, me getting a random text saying "I am covered from head to toe in blood...none of which is mine" when she played), and I generally play as a support (Black/White, Red, or Scholar...mmm...Scholar). It's just more of to do with personality when it comes to individuals.
