Gender Bender

I would call myself an open-minded person. I believe that people should be able to live how they want, so long as they don't interfere or harm others, and they don't try to make me agree with what they are doing.

But there is an accident that has been waiting to happen, and tonight it happened. I was sitting on the toilet and reading an article about education and parenting in a popular women's magazine. But let me give you some background first.

Writers in order to not offend having been ignoring grammar which has a non-gender-specific pronoun: he. They sometimes substitute "he or she" or use "she" instead. Some authors try to craftily switch between masculine and feminine pronouns during the articles.

Well, as I said, I was sitting there on the toilet and minding my own business. The author, who couldn't have known better since she was only a high school English teacher, switched between "he" and "she" so quickly and often that I almost felt my neck snap into pieces.

I'm seriously considering getting a lawyer. This whiplash is killing me.

Okay, sarcasm aside: PLEASE, if you're going to ignore grammar at least be consistent. Don't insult our intelligence. We're adults. We can handle proper grammar. Just stop slapping us in the face with overabundant "PC"-ness just to make it look like your a good guy. (For those of you who disagree, substitute "girl" for "guy" on that last one.)
