But what's wrong with having a story about male characters having to face female-esque challenges, and female characters having to face male ones? Especially when there's creative logic behind how a genderswapped situation like that could come about?

Simply put, I'm thinking of a number of specific female characters I love whose challenges are intrinsically tied to the aggressively patriarchal society they live in. The way they deal with said treatment is inspiring and exactly why I love them. If they lived in a matriarchy, they would certainly face different challenges and while that could also be an interesting story, it's not their story anymore. Just a nice "what if" fantasy.

Likewise, some of my favorite male characters wouldn't face the same issues they do in their canons if they were female (due to things like being nobility in a society where titles are inherited by the males of the family).

And one of my all-time favorite characters is a male character who ends up in the "princess" role of a princess/knight-type relationship. I wouldn't be interested in the story at all if he were a woman because then it would just be your generic damsel-in-distress story. The fact that he is a man instead of a woman in that role is what makes it so interesting.

In what story does a male character occupy the "princess" role of a princess/knight relationship?

Just curious--what story is it--I don't believe I've heard of it?

Tales of Graces! It's an RPG for the PS3. The main character is a young man who has always wanted to be a knight; he befriends the prince of his kingdom, and their relationship is central to the plot of the game. Sadly they don't take it all the way and make the relationship a romantic one (although there is very, very heavy subtext to indicate that the prince's feelings are indeed romantic), but it's still nice to see a knight and a prince instead of a knight and a princess.
