My insecticide permeated brain counts 19 times the male gender is specified. Women can't be seated to this office...But then again, I don't expect congress to start following the Constitution.

New to the English language, or just languages in general?
To: Deadbug Dale
By your logic women don't have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I guess it sucks that we don't follow the constitution in those areas, too, huh?

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.
To: Deadbug Dale
I guess the English language is not your first. In English, the male pronouns and the word "man" have both a gender-specific meaning and a gender-indifferent meaning. The latter is to be assumed absent a gender-specific context.
In other words, you're way off base on this.

Nice try. In that era the masculine gender was commonly used to mean either. Where have you been?

Assuming they taught grammar at the grade school you attended, you are no doubt aware that the masculine gender includes the feminine in the English language.
That is why we have fought so hard to keep the feminists from neutering the old hymn tunes such as "Good Christian Men Rejoice", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Faith of our Fathers."
You'll have to find another club house for your "No Girls Allowed" sign.

Even today the english language is not equipped to deal with he/she issues without the cumbersome slashmark.

"He" and its derivatives are generic for anyone whose sex is not known.
To: Deadbug Dale
You signed up two days ago just to post this? "He" in The Constitution is considered Gender Neutral...soon to be your situation, once the Viking Kitties have at ya, LOL!
Or would that be "Gender Neutralized?" ;)

Yeah, so they weren't exactly as PC back then as we are now. What exactly is your point? That you don't want to see Rice possibly become the next president? Or that you think that the Constitution is too "chauvinistic"?

I knew of a Garren Gribble from Wisconsin. He is in jail for the murder of a toddler I believe. Any relation? He had a brother Dale.
