PR Summary

Here is a PR that:

1. add the possibility in the demonstrated helper function for choosing a specific side where to put the text annotation to avoid overlapping ot the latter with the errorbar. For sure the logic could be made more robust or generic, but I tried to keep it minimal and yet sufficient to get something that I find significantly less terrible than before.
2. tries to make both case a bit more symmetric from the code point of view between the women and the men cases (ind - width/2 andind + width/2 instead ofind andind + width, etc.)
3. changes the colors: I agree that it is highly subjective but I find the previous ones quite “old fashion” (but maybe that they were chosen to be gender neutral or another peculiar reason).

I am open to revert part or all of 2. and 3. due to their subjective nature. However, I really think that 1. would help to make this example more attractive for people looking for a way to “simply” annotate bar charts (which seems rather frequent by wandering on the Internet) that is still quite pleasant to the eye.
