Obvious solution is obvious. Children need to be forced to play more Metroid.

Beyond Good and Evil

American McGee's Alice

Resident Evil

Perfect Dark

Old NES Games based on the Alien movies (Ripley)

Donkey Kong Country 3 (Diddy Kong is the main character)

Chrono Trigger's main hero is a male, but 3 of the other 6 playables are strong females (2 of the others are a Frog and a Robot)

There are definitely more games with male protagonists than female, but there are enough to list.

Final Fantasy X arguably. X 2 for sure. XII and XIII as well.

Ironically, the first games I thought of, Fallout and Elder Scrolls, are probably not the best choice for a girl who can't read yet.
