I apologize for how this blew up, I did not anticipate that. I was trying to channel the guidelines similar to "it never does any good, and it makes boring reading", hoping HN could focus on the substance of the article, rather than the politics of whether or not it's okay to use "he" as a generic gender term. It does get extremely boring to read on every article written by or about a woman someone correcting every comment that uses "he" as a generic antecedent, but in the future I will just ignore it instead of inciting a potential flamewar.
