title: Python 2.7 disregarding else and combined "if not" statements
body: <p>I'm not <em>too</em> new to Python, but have only just now started messing with it more as of recent. Ambiguous issues aside, I need help in regards to figuring out why my code isn't listening to the provided <code>else</code> or <code>if not</code> statements.</p>

Here's the link to a Google Docs document, with the problematic piece highlighted.</a></p>
  
  <p>What <em>should</em> happen is that, when prompted for your gender, placing anything other than "m", "f", or "o" (or the same capitalized) will throw the <code>else</code> statement. This does not happen, however, and defaults to if your input was "m".</p>
