Surprise girls in documentation

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-27 5:26

Why do neckbeards writing technical documentation always have this urge to refer technical people as "she" in their text?
It happens so often an ignorant observer might conclude that computer stuff is a secret girly club no boys allowed.
It always seem so transparent that they mean "WELL SEE HOW I MENTIONED CUNTS HURR I AM SO PROGESSIVE DESPITE BEING ONLY THREE PROVEN WOMEN IN MY FIELD OF EXPERTISE [spoiler]AND ONE OF THEM BEING LEAH CULVER[/i]" with their refusal to use the default "he" or the fancy (and possibly gay) gender-neutral "they".

Everyone understands singular "they", it's been in use for centuries, and it rarely causes ambiguity, so I'd say fuck the prescriptivists and use it wherever you like. But well, that's just, like, my opinion, man.
