This is where things get very fuzzy. Â You have to separate the world itself from the real-life politics that game creators unfortunately MUST abide by. Â You are not going to find a game today out there, regardless of its theme or setting, that treats men and women as two distinct sexes anymore.
It's not common, but it IS present in some titles, though mostly relegated to background elements.
The one series I can think of that definitely does this is the Witcher games from CD Projekt Red, based on the Andrzej Sapkowski stories and novels of the same title. It's made fairly blatantly obvious that the Sorceresses are some of the few women in the world with actual power and ability to exercise that power. Equality is a nonexistent ideal in that world, save perhaps for the protagonist and his friends.
