Why “he”?
- talldatethrow 3y agoMy friend sold boats for over 10 years. He said women love going on boats, but he never saw a woman buy a boat in his life. Women love apple products, but if you look at who is splurging on multiple high end apple computers with multiple monitors it's gotta be 95% male.

- adastra22 3y agoBecause "he" is grammatically correct when the gender is unknown.

- adastra22 3y agoFair enough!
- growt 3y agoIs it really? Also when the username contains „girl“ it may give a hint.
