I'm sorry, I don't agree with Mr.
Gladwin, because in his comments he doesn't seem to get that the weather bureau's designation of "male" vs. "female" is not the same thing as rated "masculinity" vs. "femininity". Masculine and Feminine are not the same concepts as Male and Female and I don't think using the latter is "statistical massaging" but in fact should lead to more accurate analysis of the issue of possible sexist bias.
