You and I both well know that generic animate objects are masculine and
generic inanimate objects are feminine in the English language.
Mixed-gender collections also follow the above convention.

I just hope the feminists never learn French or Spanish or any other
gender-based language, especially the ones lacking significant neuter
genders, they'd have to re-write every word.

(My sister told me because I'm a man, I could never be a feminist -- been
scarred for life by the feminists. ;) )

Say, how goes our female recruitment efforts? I don't recall the last
time I saw a female chime in on any of these lists, but then again, I only
know for sure that one of the people here other than me is male (erics,
since I met him in person).

BTW, Dufflebunk, I prefer the more politically-correct term "genderist".
I might offend somebody by my using a word containing s-e-x.
