Bug Report: Gender stereotypes in images (Dall-E via Chat GPT)

`Steps to Reproduce`

when a prompt specifies one man and one woman, their body language is different:
-the woman generally smaller
-it is the man who shows, or who has a protective attitude.
This is quite consistent along the prompts I did,, unless there are more characters.

`Expected Result`

There should be no hierarchy between men and women.

`Actual Result`

When a man and a woman are generated together, the man often sows "protecting" the woman, or "protecting" her. He walks in front and the woman follows.

`Environment`

windows 11, Brave browser

Some examples of image where the body language shows the man as the main character, and the woman only reacts to him. The effect is not huge, but still enough to subconsciously influence people
