 I just noticed a few usages of male pronouns when referring to attackers
 or users. The attached patch changes these by employing the
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they English singular they], which
 I believe to be a simple and elegant solution.

 I don't want to start a religious discussion. I just had a couple of
 seconds to spare to prepare this patch; merge if it deems fit or close if
 it doesn't.
