If you were really brave, you'd be calling everyone she, because that would rile up the toxic masculinity guys like nobodies business

Ever played d&d? The number of people who get furious every time they read the 3.5 players handbook because it uses she as default about 50% of the time is hilarious

And yet they're totally fine with male being the default.

What's hilarious is they'll read it, and then ask why they only use female pronouns. Male pronouns are so ingrained that when half of them are she's and her's, they don't even recognize any male pronouns were used at all.
