You were uncomfortable with textbooks when they used 'she', and against them trying to include you once more with 'they/them'?
So the only acceptable option by this line of thinking is that the default pronoun should be 'he/him'. This attitude seems something a little different from 'conservative'.
- pfisch 7y agoI'm not sure he was saying he was uncomfortable. I agree that "they" is awful, and I would definitely prefer that we just have to make the unknown pronoun always be "she" if that is what everyone needs to not throw an inequality tantrum.
