Re: Nitty Professors
I had a professor in a philosophy class who really had her panties in a bunch about gender neutral pro-nouns. She talked for almost a whole class before the first paper about the importance of using he/she, him/her, etc. She said she wouldn't accept papers that didn't stay general neutral, this was later confirmed by a friend of mine who had to re-do her paper and got marked down because of it.
I'm proud to say I didn't use one gender-neutral pronoun the whole semester. Every paper I wrote contained exclusively feminine pronouns and she never said a damned word about it. I ended up getting an 'A' in fact. God I hated her.
