Remove reference to specific gender ratios #27

Commits on Oct 13, 2017

  1. Remove reference to specific gender ratios 

    1. When referring to people it’s preferable to speak about men and women. “Males” and “females” can equally refer to animals, so it’s more respectable to use human-specific language.
2. The previous phrasing wasn’t particularly inclusive for people outside of the gender binary.
3. It’s unclear where the 2:1 ratio comes from. Unless there is some clear evidence for it I think the first sentence of the rule is helpful enough.
