You said yourself that no one thinks the man is "better" or "a higher being" than the woman anymore. So what's the big deal? It's not personal Elysia, it's DEFAULT and it's worked for years. Changing...
Well, I brought up the wrong point, I really think male should be default because of tradition, not just religion.
And I don't see how it's intellectually bankrupt. Please enlighten me.
Religion is the backbone of everyone's opinion, and cannot be called crap.
>> No, and I don't like "mankind" either. If such, better use "humankind," which is much better, but not perfect.
>> Sometimes I tend to use "our kind" or such, but it's a mystery really... I don't...
IMO, "he" is the default, and should be used as such.
Think about it, I have never heard the phrase "woman kind" have you?
