No, but but forcing your religious beliefs upon someone else is.
This isn't about convincing each other that one way is right or wrong. It's a discussion.
The problem to me seems that because it's been default for so long, you see no need to change it. So why should exactly males be default? What's the point?
Tradition has it that male is default because women were considered lower beings than men, which obviously we will all agree now is wrong.
It just seems to me you are unwilling to change to a new view in a new century which is much different from when tradition was made?
Is it so, or am I completely off track?
No, I take offense at defending the use of "he" as neutrality based on some fictious facts of religion. Yes, I will admit I'm am atheist, and therefore I take big offense at people saying "males were created before females" or "male should be default because they were created first" or "because god is a he" or the like.
I can accept good arguments, but never from religion. That's because you can't force a religious belief onto someone else. Religion is not facts. There is no evidence. And as such I cannot accept it a good argument.
And that is all.
