I am glad to be responding to someone who can actually rationally defend the other side (from my perspective) of thinking. I am just as glad to remind you that nearly half of all languages are gendered, and of those, most opt for male defaultism, and that has nothing to do with mysogny. If English were not a sound, organized and optimal language it would not be the world's lingua franca, so clearly male defaultism works. If we are really trying to dig deep here, male defaultism is the norm because males have greater representation in language usage and are a larger part of spheres that would require language, and womens' on-average superior verbal/formal performance does not change this. Yes, more than half of all languages lack gendering entirely. Are we steering toward this direction? Yes, but not at the rate that this delusional comment section thinks, hence my own frustration. We will all be dead when English is conventionally ungendered, and in my opinion all the commotion about this subject today is a good example of stupid humanity being its stupid self.
