Existing relation
oewn-10344679-n (Interlingual Index: i91411)
(n) hero a person distinguished by exceptional courage and nobility and strength “RAF pilots were the heroes of the Battle of Britain”

hyponym of

oewn-10306910-n (Interlingual Index: i91182)
(n) man, adult male an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman) “there were two women and six men on the bus”

Proposed change
'hero' is not a 'man' and 'heroine' is a hyponym of 'hero'

Motivation
This changes the modelling so that 'hero' is a gender-neutral term, representing current usage and similar to the modelling of other words such as 'actor'
