Questions for Feminists (QFF)
1. So often in writing and in speech the pronoun ‘he’ is used to refer to an action in a sentence that can be performed by people of either gender. Would you rather ‘she’ be used in this manner, or ‘he/she’ or a gender-neutral term?
In my opinion, society is lazy and when ‘he’ is used in these contexts, it is taken to mean ‘he/she’. This is especially the case when looking at documents from a long time ago when the society was male-dominated. I think ‘they’ or a gender-neutral term should be used in the future.
