Your response on gender isn't skewed, men are the audience for the vast majority of gaming. A lot of the "women make up 50%" only makes sense when you add in casual/facebook/etc games. Poll that and you'll see a different response. ex: Fallout shelter/candycrush/etc you're going to see 40-60% female responses.
What that means is, you make the games for your core audience. You stop listening to the people whining "but it *HAS* to be inclusive" or whatever buzzword is being pushed this week. Don't piss on them, don't mock them, and when there's someone who whines and cries over a limerick you can tell them "tough."
