CONDITIONAL aggregate function

I have a table that includes rankings for items

tblRanks
itemID
rank
gender

rank is an integer 1 to 10, gender is either m or f

I want to return 3 average ranks: the overall avg, the average for gender m and the average for gender f.

Any ideas?

Code:

select 'overall' as gender
     , sum(rank)/count(*) as avgrank
  from tblRanks 
union all
select gender
     , sum(rank)/count(*) 
  from tblRanks
group
    by gender
