Some people have a problem with using a female reviewer or a female

I find this message to be snarky and underhanded instead of
actually describing the goals at hand. Citing the reason as
stated is _not_ the purpose of these gender-neutral
recommendations.

Instead, a message such as this could apply:

  Using gendered pronouns for an anonymous person applies a
  gender where none is known, and further excludes readers
  who do not use gendered pronouns. Avoid such examples in
  the documentation by using "they" or passive voice to
  avoid the need for a pronoun.

The textual edits in the patch are correct.
