You used to be able to say "he" instead of the lengthier "he/she" or "person" not very long ago to indicate any nonspecific individual.
You still can. Although the recent trend in my college and law school textbooks was to use only "she."

Hey Max, how about "Motherland"--no men allowed and "Fatherland"--no women allowed.
I bet the gays and lesbians would like these two setups. LOL

If you want, I can show you how to make a bomb out of a roll of toilet paper and a stick of dynamite.
Either you're a troll or you got a weird sense of humor... like me.

Reminds me of the original Star-Trek series opening statement, which then was changed for Star-Trek Voyager. NOoooooooooooooooooooooooo. It was changed for Star Trek The Next Generation where the changed no-man to no-one. Voyager was a musical opening with no voice-over.

The statistics you mentioned must have been conducted by a "her."
I wish that the study had been done watching some of the "hers" I have seen.
To: thoughtomator
In other words, you're way off base on this.
Oh, but you were so kind to attempt an enlightening.

"The words such as "he" and "his" and "him" do NOT REFER to one gender--their uses denote general reference to both genders.
Check your high school English textbooks or English teachers."
I agree completely. Could you please tell that to my politically correct seminary professors who take off points when we don't use "inclusive" language? Or to the translators of the TNIV version of the Bible for that matter. One of its big changes is gender inclusive language. Makes me want to scream!

Perfect answer - and the first one too!

They don't teach basic English in school at all anymore, I guess. The wording you provide is grammatically correct...and it is not specifying a qualifying GENDER for the office, only a DEFAULT gender. This was written long before all units were required to specify "him/her/it/trans/confused/other/NA" in each and every single reference to the species formerly known as humanity and now recognized as a parasite upun the breast of Gaia.
Hope that helped.

"Enjoy!"We would if it weren't so stupid. We can't even pick on the spelling, because it's copied and pasted.

<< New to the English language, or just languages in general? >>
Either or both for sure!
Such is the PC-tyranny's corruption of the English Language that, if this poster is to be believed, there exist folks, with some small command of the Language, who are ignorant that the apparently male gender of those examples he has highlighted are in fact gender neutral.
But then again he probably also thinks that "gender" means "sex."

"Yea Right, and ships can only legally be piloted by She's. Someone fell off the boat."No, ships are "she"s and their pilots are "he"s so the seas are off limits to is of the red-impaired gender as well.
