I'm disappointed by the reworded job descriptions. Many times in the examples the entire meaning was changed rather than just being painted in a more gender neutral light.

There's a huge difference between "Direct a team" and "Support a team".

i replied to a few threads about this re: "re-evaluate your job post descriptions" - i did not draft those descriptions, they are linked to the actual original content by ERE. everything on the site is not original content. i find the descriptions could use some work, but do a decent job of illustrating the point that language matters, especially when the goal is simply to expand the pool of people that respond positively to your post.
