A man flying out of a river raft filled with 6 other people.
The raft is filled with 6 females.
People are not assumed to be females.
Just because a man is in a rift with 6 people does not mean they are 6 females.
The group of 6 other people doesn't have to consist of 6 females. The people could be all males, or a mix of males and females adding up to 6.
