Why are people downvoting an author asking that people maybe take a moment to check whether they're responding to a woman before they write "he"? Is it that much hassle to check a byline?
Yes. I make no apologies for the lack of a gender-neutral human pronoun in the English language. If I don't know someone's gender, I pick one or use awkward constructions involving "the author". Feel free to inform the English language standards body of their oversight so they can correct it for the next version.
