I haven't heard of that as a best practice. In my English class in high school they only mentioned to keep it consistent. The preference should be given to the writer. Both men and women have contributed to society so their pronouns can safety be used in written text.

"They" or "he or she" is typically customary these days, more and more so the former as the latter is annoying to write and the singular they is becoming more accepted as a grammatical change in English.

- dick_sucker2 8y agoMany a man and woman has sucked a dick. It won't be in the history books, but I'm sure you can find some reference material.
