The pervasive use of males pronouns in technical documentation — not to mention roles of power at large in society — intimates that "someone like you should" NO

The pervasive use of males pronouns in technical documentation — not to mention roles of power at large in society — intimates that "someone like you should" NOT "work on the project", if you're not male.
- douche 10y agoI find it a little bizarre when people go out of their way to use feminine pronouns, which is certainly a thing that people do. Personally, I tend towards the second-person (you) or indeterminate third-person (they, one) if not referring to a specific person.
