It is tempting to skip the column for male, but it is strongly advised to model a comprehensible table. In most cases, comprehensibility implies completeness (the mere fact that "male" is missing from a gender-table might cause suspicion).

It is perhaps even more tempting to skip the [ ]-column for ELSE, but it is also strongly advised to model an ELSE-column whenever the values are not restricted by a value list.

If Applicant.Gender was in fact limited by a value list consisting of the values Male and Female and it is obvious the set will never expend, the ELSE-column would have been otioseredundant.
