Modern beliefs in equal gender rights make the good old RescueRomance trope somewhat difficult to play straight. However, there's a question in the air... what if "that male" is either ''hired or honor-bound'' to protect "that female"? That wouldn't be chauvinist at all - not only is the guy getting rewarded or paid (whether in money, benefits, rank raises, etc.) by his bosses or upperclassmen for taking care of the girl's safety, with his reputation ''as a whole'' depending heavily on how well he guards and shields her, but it fulfills residual KnightInShiningArmor imagery without causing eyebrow raising among the fandom.
If said bodyguard is a female who takes care of a male, she can keep her romantic feelings for her ward ''and'' get to show off her ActionGirl skills constantly, which greatly decreases the chances of her being a victim of {{Chickification}}.
