You are misinterpreting my comment. It does not matter that she is a woman. Examine what offends you. You can learn a lot about yourself and maybe grow. Being offended by what some random man on the internet writes must be tiresome for you. Try assuming good intent.
- 93po 4y agoI mean this in a friendly, productive manner: I also once didn't see the issue with the sentence as you stated it. Regardless of intent, the common reading of your sentence is that her being a woman has a specific significance, and especially because "woman" is a very slight dog whistle when compared to "lady" or "gal". Imagine saying "This black person..." as an extreme and hyperbolic comparison. It's clearly drawing attention to skin color. While your sentence is nowhere nearly that intense, there's clearly a spectrum and gray area. You could have easily said "this person" or "this recruiter" or "the subject of this article"
