Some of them are gender-neutral (e.g. "the Programmer" in 3.3).

That's great in isolation, but the overall score is extremely low here. The ones where the programmer is explicitly male are 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.3, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 8.2, 8.3. In many of the ones where the programmer is gender-neutral, there are often other characters that are referred to as male, such as a manager, a farmer, a prince, a warlord, a corporate executive, a magician and a father.

The only mention of a woman I found was a hostess (!!) in 2.1.

The problem with this sort of thinking is that when i see a title with "inclusiveness" baked into it, i auto assume more time was spent to make it inclusive than to put a point across and i ignore it.

Why don't you write some up yourselves to improve the situation.
