It probably wouldn't matter for most other races though, since the gender height gap is smaller.
This is probably the most valid of all objections to the OP's suggestion. Go in the char creator and play with the height slider a bit. Notice that it's not actually a height slider per se, it's a scale slider. Going up makes the character bigger in all dimensions--which means taller = wider too.
