Yesss. And maybe we should just throw out the male pronoun from the language because the very existence of it is sexist?

Centuries of the development of the English language made "he" also a neutral pronoun. And, if the hordes of self-proclaimed discriminated feminists excuse me, it is not sexist, or wrong, or anything. It just is - a linguistical construction. Should we change in the Bible "lord" to "lady" just because we cannot be sure what exactly is the sex of God?

One thing I want to add - I am woman, perfectly content with it, and I do notice some instances of discrimination, gender or otherwise, in my surrounding. Sometimes, though, it is discrimination of men.
