You know the answer: decades (centuries?) of usage defaulting to male.
OP went to great lengths to use neutral pronouns everywhere and you ding him (or her) for one slip up? One of the few people aware of the issues and trying to do good, someone in your camp?
And because of that obsession of yours, a good part of the entire discussion is now derailed.
You need to realize that you are part of the problem.
- jahnu 12y ago> You need to realize that you are part of the problem. Oh my God. It's responses like yours that starkly remind me of how imbalanced it is for a woman in this industry and indeed in life.
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoI admit it was a bit melodramatic. In this season of Survivor, there is this deaf woman who wears a Cochlear implant. She can hear okay and it doesn't seem to handicap her much, but she's been bringing it up all the time to her teammates to the point that she's under the constant impression that she's being discriminated against because she's deaf, while the reality is just that she's a subpar competitor and her team is getting tired of her bringing up her deafness all the time while the simple truth is that they really don't care. Basically, the only person on the show who's making a big deal of her deafness is herself. Seems to me OP is doing the same thing here.
