et al.
Per Wikipedia, stands for et alii and is masculine . . . "so it can be used for men, or groups of men and women; the feminine, et aliae (or et aliƦ), is appropriate when the 'others' are all female. Et alia is neuter plural and thus properly used only for inanimate, genderless objects, but some use it as a gender-neutral alternative."
