What, no male goodwife?
When wandering through towns talking to the inhabitants, talking to a green '@' results in the following message:

"You talk to the female goodwife. The female goodwife doesn't respond."

I've yet to met a male goodwife in JADE (or anywhere else, for that matter).

If there aren't any, and are never going to be any, perhaps it's a bit redundant to use an adjective like 'female' to describe a monster's gender when the monster's type already implies its gender?

On a related note, this game takes place long after ADoM, surely gender equality has come some distance since then. Why not have goodhusbands?

More generally, it would be good if, for a few select species for which it makes sense, the game adjusts the name of the creature to suit its gender - so, for instance, if there was a Cow type creature in the game, then a female would be a Cow and a male would be a Bull, even if they otherwise were identical.

Oops, I forgot to apply the @PrimaryGender(Gender.FEMALE) annotation to the goodwife implementation :-)
