My suggestion would be to assign attributes or aptitudes where there were gender bonuses, but leave all the actual classes open to either gender.
I would be turned off by a game where I couldn't play a warrior or a thief or a what have you and was relegated to being a bard or a merchant. However, I think that having a size cap or strength cap that was lower for women would not be offensive. There should of course be an overlap. Perhaps a strong woman would not be as strong as buff man, but her strength should be greater than that of a weak man.
Men might be stronger and faster, women have better endurance and pain tolerance.
What would truly **** me off is to have mental (though not necessarily magical) characteristics have gender differentiation.
