Gender Specific Messages

I recently won a game and received what was meant to be a very nice congratulations message. However it did not make me feel good. :(

Why?

Because throughout the message it assumed I was male.

In my view these messages should either be gender neutral or there should be a male and a female version of the message. To assume that anyone winning a game is male I find a bit insulting. I realise this was not the intention.

Guys, I'm not sure why anyone is still ranting about anything on this thread. The developers changed the message in question to a gender non-specific one several months ago.

Can a passing administrator close this thread?
