- voganmother42 7y ago“Problems related to his environment after work” I think is what is being referred to in that comment.
- sorich87 7y agoThanks! Not sure how we missed that.
- CannisterFlux 7y agoI think it is the use of the word "fraternal". It means "of or like a brother or brothers", implying male gender. "be relaxed and relax them too, with a fraternal and understanding tone" The word "friendly" would have been a simpler synonym in that sentence.
- pluma 7y ago"Did you just assume my gender" is generally a throwaway meme by right-leaning trolls these days. It's a caricature of an outraged feminist or non-binary person, not really a sentence you'd normally hear from either of the two groups. But on a more serious note the article does switch from the neutral "they" to a gendered "he" in at least one place (see the other comment), which is not just unnecessary but also inconsistent. Just stick with "they", unless the person's gender is important (note: it almost never is, even "women's issues" don't require an implicit "she" and using "they" in these cases is actually even more inclusive because it also covers trans men).
- sorich87 7y agoThanks! We'll definitely stick to "they" in the future!
