How would it impact our culture if all men began using the generic SHE instead of HE?

I think we'd be surprised but I don't know if it would transform society. However small changes like this group together and make bigger points as generations age. Maybe people will stop thinking of men in every high paying permanent job and think 'he or she' instead.

People incorrectly sometimes say 'they' rather than 'he' or 'she' (e.g 'They forgot their bag, please tell them to come and get it.' Or 'They are in charge of a big company and have over 100 employees, they must be a very wealthy person') because it's ambiguous but it technically means plural not neutral gender, however language continues to evolve...

Not to give men undue credit, but I think it's more of a language thing than a male dominance thing. "He" has simply come to be used as the generic as well as the male form of the third person singular pronoun just as many other aspects of language have become what they are through repetition. It's the same way in Spanish and I would guess most other languages as well. Yes, this stems from patriarchal dominance for centuries, but that doesn't mean that men today are oppressing women by continuing to use "he" instead of "she."

One could say "he or she," but that would get tiresome if done frequently. There is no reason not to use "she" instead of "he," except that it is not currently common usage and could be considered incorrect, however this could change over time. I think if people started using "she" instead of "he," it would set off a pointless battle between the sexes where misguided feminism would clash with traditional male machismo when the issue really has nothing to do with men and women or their expected gender roles. I doubt it would change the standing of women in the workplace or anywhere else.

I don't think it would have a tremendous impact. Language is in such a state of shambles in this country that, at this point, I think it would go largely unnoticed.

It would help if there were more images of women in environments that are thought to be male dominated. A great example of that is Danika McKellar (sure I spelled her name incorrectly but we all remember Winnie Cooper for the Wonder Years). She's a mathematician and she's written a book putting math into terms that are appealing to young girls and written in a way that they can relate to.

I believe it will cause trouble and confusion from both sides . .genders, especially the men. They'll have an uproar, because most men are more egotistic than women, in the business world. Using SHE, when really referring to a male, will make any guy very upset, unless he was gay, of course. As for the woman, she'll start getting egotistic, like a man . .seeing that their gender is preferred over the men's. Either way, using just one word SHE or the other word, He . .both will see that as sexist.

So to aviod any confusion and one sex being resentful other the other, because of the preferred gender word, it would be best, for a business brocure or any business paper document typed or printed out . .should use the phrases: he/she, him/her, his/hers . .etc. . .so that way both genders will see that their are equal.

I do that ..when referring someone in general . .I always think of inculding both genders by saying phrases like that, in my e-mails, documents, etc . .out of respect that I see both equal in my eyes . .just like God sees us all as, for He sees neither are inferior over the other, but equal (but in their own special ways). To God, gender does not matter . .so, as a Christian I would use word usage the way God will see and word it in His mind.

It would be quite expensine to change all written material, In addition, each time there was a printed reference to "she" there would be 33 1/3 addition time/money required. The cost would be astronomical.
