The one problem with your idea that the manual implies that the enemies are male is that it is simply one interpretation. When referring to a gender-neutral entity, it was often standard practice to use "he" as a gender-neutral article. By the 1960s, gender equality started being a big focus and thus it is standard to mix up he and she gender based articles, meaning that either could refer to a gender-neutral being. -

This means that we cannot rely on pronouns to figure out gender. "He" will of course be more common than "she", even today, due to traditional usage and slow conversion. iD Software could have intended the monsters to be gender neutral based on the evidence we currently have, meaning you are incorrect to assume that all "he" based pronouns refer to the beast being male. They could in fact be so alien to not be gender based.

Unless you can find an interview or other piece of official information supporting the gender of these enemies, I suggest we fix the gender of some of these beasts to be gender-neutral once more.
