Default
It does work but you have the syntax wrong. It should be

{ If { Ref Dropdown1 } = "man" " male"}

Both sets of brackets { } are placed with CTRL+F9.

The Bookmark name and the result from that bookmark are case sensitive, so ensure that you get the spellings correct.

Check the dropdown field property check box 'calculate on exit' or nothing will happen.

The field construction will not work in the header/footer or any other story range that is not the main document.
