[Noisebridge-discuss] Neutral Pronoun "E"

[Al Sweigart]

Why do people make such a big deal out of gendered pronouns? I just default
to using "she" in gender-neutral situations. I don't see why that's
female-centric.

I'm kidding of course. I just like to poke fun at the "gendered pronouns
don't matter BUT WE MUST ALWAYS USE MASCULINE PRONOUNS" crowd. Just use
"they" as a gender-neutral pronoun. It's simpler than inventing new
pronouns or always typing "she or he".



Although I do sincerely refuse to call "Pacman" anything but "Mr. Pacwoman".
