gender specific pronouns
Current usage dictates that we say "they" to keep from using gender-specific pronouns, but as a public we still use the pronoun "he" to describe all sexes. I doubt that anybody reading this believes that women are too moral to write vicous code. Women have given us our share of villans. What you're angry about isn't that you believe women too dumb to write destructive code, you're angry that men are unjustly being blamed for everything wrong in the world when we are all equal in that respect. This is the POST-feminist era. Most of us have moved beyond arguing about gender pronouns.
