This may seem like a shallow or petty thing to complain about but really, it’s annoying how everything’s considered a “he” until stated otherwise. As they say, the male gender is the generic or baseline or whatever gender that’s why it’s always a he. But I really don’t see it being much of a hassle if one puts a “s/he” instead. Some people may say it’s all the same and it doesn’t really matter but I say otherwise.
I mean, maybe for them, its okay, especially for guys. Na maybe they don't care kasi hindi naman sila yung parang "nadidiscriminate" eh. Pero wala lang.. nakakoffend. Especially nowadays when people are starting to be more liberated. Yung tipong hindi na ganun ka "traditional".
People really should be sensitive about this thing. Kahit parang ang liit na bagay lang nito. Sa iba, big deal. Kaya i make it a point na whenever i write essays, of papers, he/she talaga yung nilalagay ko. Unless i'm sure of the sex of the subject. :-)
