Re: Dewey Decimal Chart

I have to agree with Ken.  I am secure enough in my femininity and my membership
in the human race to realize that "man" etc. includes me.  I realize not
everyone agrees with me, and that is fine; we are all entitled to our opinions,
thank goodness.

I guess part of my acceptance has to do with the aggravation of using and seeing
"his/her" or "their" used instead of the simple "his" when gender is either not
known or inclusive.  As an old English teacher, I find all alternatives
undesirable. (Stuck in my ways at 30!)

Just MHO.  I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but I think Ken may be blasted
for his post, and I wanted him and others to know that some *females* share his
opinion.
