Because representation matters, and said people can represent the struggles of a female better than men can.

I'm gonna disagree with that statement outright.  "Women" and "men" aren't faceless monolithic collectives, with common stats and capabilities across the board for each particular set.  It dismisses and ignores some of the most genuinely excellent female characters written and directed by men, and some of the most disastrously bad characters written or directed by women, because it's ignoring the merits and faults of them as individuals.  It's missing the trees for the forest, so to speak.
