Cathartes: delete foocubus disparity point because the code referenced by Bugs_in_NetHack_3.4.3#foocubus_disparity changed between 3.4.3 and 3.6.6; make nymph point more general, about messages with no effect on gameplay mechanics

-Your choice of gender affects a number of events in the game:
+Your choice of gender alters various messages in the game, and has some limited effect on gameplay mechanics:
 * Female characters can lay [[egg]]s when polymorphed into a monster that lays eggs.
-* Any eggs found and carried by male characters have a 50/50 chance of hatching tame. Eggs found and carried by females never hatch tame. (Eggs laid by you always hatch tame, regardless of your current gender.)
+* Any eggs found and carried by male characters have a {{frac|2}} chance of hatching tame; eggs found and carried by females never hatch tame. Eggs laid by you always hatch tame, regardless of your current gender.
 * Male characters are seduced by the [[succubus]], and female characters are charmed by the [[incubus]]. During seduction, incubi will put a [[ring of adornment]] on your hand if you have one, while succubi will steal them.
 The [[Valkyrie]] is the only class that can only start as female, although any character's gender can be changed with an [[amulet of change]].

 In [[SpliceHack]], the player's interactions with succubi and incubi are not determined by their gender, but instead by their sexuality. Additionally, players may elect to play as nonbinary. A nonbinary player character is unique in the following ways:
 * Nonbinary characters are more likely to receive armor removal prompts when being seduced by a monster.
 * Nonbinary characters can't lay eggs.
 * Eggs that hatch in the inventory of a nonbinary character always produce peaceful monsters.
 * Nonbinary characters cannot be seduced by succubi or incubi, unless the player character is bisexual.

 Since the claw attack appears much more often than the kick attack, female characters are in more danger of suffering extra damage. However, most item-stealing monsters (especially nymphs) are usually female, so a male character suffers from stat loss more often.
