Find a more efficient way to code an If statement in python
<p>it's the second time I'm confronted to this kind of code : </p>

<pre><code>    if "associé" in gender or "gérant" in gender or "président" in gender or "directeur" in gender:
    gen = "male"
elif "associée" in gender or "gérante" in gender or "présidente" in gender or "directrice" in gender:
    gen = "female"
else:
    gen = "error"
</code></pre>

<p>I'd like to find a more efficient way to write this code because it looks really bad. </p>
