Some female definitions (highlighted by @KexionGAO42 and team) are much shorter for the female equivalent than the male. We should make these definitions a consistent and fair length. I have edited from her original list here with changes that are already implemented in #883 (as the original analysis was on PWN3.0) and I have added suggested new definitions
