Default Adding data only if adjacent to cell labeled "male"/"female"

I have a spreadsheet that has this general format:

column A column B Column C Column D
3 M
5 F
2 M
6 F
Total Females: 11
Total Males: 5

For all the cells in Column A that are adjacent to a cell in column B
containing a letter "F", I would a formula to add those numbers, and place
the sum in column D (where I've typed an "11" for Total Females). I'd like
the same for all cells in column A that are adjacent to an "M" to be totaled
next to "Total Males".

Any solutions?

thank you

'for female count
=SUMIF(B:B,"F",A:A)
