Hi!
Many regression operators in RapidMiner do automatic feature selection and remove correlated attributes by default.
In your gender variable, you probably only have two values. If the value is male, it can't be female, and the other way around. This is a frequent example for "collinear" features.
Having the coefficient for both gender attributes/values wouldn't add information to the model. However, you can force RapidMiner to include all attributes in the model by setting the appropriate options. In Logistic Regression, it's "remove collinear columns" (expert option).
