The brain-dead slavishness to femininnies that makes practically everybody use the contradictory but "non-sexist" THEY with a singular antecedent, as in "If someone told you to do that, they are a moron," actually causes brain damage. While the mind is flexible enough to handle occasional exceptions, this one is too common and violates too basic a mind-pattern, so it short-circuits the brain's wiring.
HE is used for "he or she," which is also incorrect. HE originally meant "he or she," so it is the generic word.

Yes - like especially when the question sounds mature and intelligent, about a female, and then they proceed to call her "a women"

Yeah, and I am conerned about my the husbands.
Mostly I notice that the relationship section is polluted with teenagers asking dumb teen questions like 'does he like me' or 'how do I ask out this boyzz' and crud like that.
I want real relationship advice and information, not info about highschool popularity conquests.....
