The whole article used the pronoun "she". Several pictures of women complaining or generally in a bad mood. I removed the pictures and ads first thing when visiting that site. Talk about a "client" not a "gender". When you use the word "she" you are referring to a person's gender, not that person. Since we had no idea who "she" was, other than "some client" it may have been more appropriate to call her "Penny" or some other such name (to protect the identity of said person).
- rantanplan 13y agoWe can also butcher the english language even more! For example, why betray the fact that the client was human? He could just use "it", or "a living organism". I mean sticking to the actual facts? The nerve of some people! In other news "she" will be replaced by "Penny", anywhere, ever. And the world will be a better place.
- Dewie 13y ago> The whole article used the pronoun "she". It was obviously a female client, so why not? When did using personal pronouns to refer to a person become offensive, not to mention invoke a suspicion of an underlying hatred of women? The only time I've seen people have problems with the use of personal pronouns is when they use "he" to indicate a generic person, even though that person might as well be female (an annoying limitation of the English language). > Several pictures of women complaining or generally in a bad mood. How does that raise a suspicion that the author hates women? I'm honestly at a loss here.
