Regarding the gender bias, that is an interesting perspective and one that should definitely be fixed. I hadn't noticed any sort of gender bias personally, but then I would be looking at it differently. It is feedback like this that really helps make a game better so I appreciate it as will Pat.

Could you tell me more about where the perception of gender bias comes from? Is it the character stories, or examples, or something else?

Regarding where you are going to be taking the story, it sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you'll share more of it with us.
