The counter point to the "What does it add" though is that that line of logic is what leads to the cookie-cutter protagonist. Why should someone be anything but white, straight, male? Everything about a character is created, and can exist for its own sake.
The fact that pregnant male jotun exist in the mythology seems reason enough for one to appear outside of it to me.
