He makes some excellent points, but I almost stopped reading when I saw his use of the feminine pronouns as the default near the beginning of the piece.

Strongly disagree with the idea of starting 2-year-olds in preschool unless their mothers are complete idiots. Funny, I don’t think I have ever met anyone from my Boomer cohort who went to preschool (quite a few of us did not even attend kindergarten), and my generation’s reading and writing education was in many ways far superior to that of our children’s. And the verbal abilities of later cohorts are truly abysmal.

Why do feminine pronouns bother you?
