International woman's day [View all]
I am a female lawyer about to partner with another female lawyer in our practice. We hired yet another female lawyer to draft some documents and the first draft came over filled with male pronouns.
I remember arguing in 1981 as a college freshman that the use of male pronouns was sexist and I am not a 'he'. Here we are 33 years later and I get to explain it again to a woman my own age.
Pisses me off.

BTW I have been a lurker at DU for six years. While I look at the site almost every day, you can see by the number of posts, that I'm not a prolific poster. This is my first discussion thread.
