Studies show (per U.S.News & World Report, July 16, 2007 p.29) that women "tend to rely on pronouns like 'I' and 'he' while men tend to favor articles such as 'a' and 'the'...", i.e., men talk more about things and women talk more about people.
Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.
