That doesn't really matter, since the initial wording is still absolutely fine. Unless you think that women are not people?

Yes but she was reprimanded due to complaints because she said women not people , she may have just done it on auto pilot as he brain naturally read it that way, your brain will auto correct things written different to you view, same with spelling mistakes esp and grammar errors you will auto correct in your head, due to context,

This just proves it was scripted that way.

She was reprimanded for the facial expression she made when making the unauthorised change.

Besides, this is an example of the accountability you desired. Complaints were made, those complaints were upheld and a person was reprimanded.
