gender voice variants

[Milos Rancic]

One more note here: Please, give a note inside of the [hopefully]
newly recognized tag, which should sound in the sense: "This subtag
should be used just for language varieties which depend on gender, not
for gender in general; for example, to make distinction between female
and male speech in Slavic languages, not to mark gender of particular
noun."
