Someone should write a program called "noheshe" through which one can
pipe text with all gender references as he/she, and come out on the
other end with all occurances of he/she changed back to "he".
I am really tired of struggling through the he/she references in
supposedly technical references. Leave that for TV Guide!!
Read the October Byte, on pp 230, last paragraph. The article was written
by a broad, and she uses the single gender reference "she". Men should
do the same!
Comeon, quiche eaters... Create a file in \usr\bin called "sexist".
In this file have the following:
echo Running program sexist is for quiche eaters only..
echo Are you a man or a wimp?
The, whenever you try to run that stupid "sexist" program on your
text, you will be gracefully reminded what a fool you will be making
of yourself!smb@ulysses.UUCP (10/09/83)

I agree; as long as we have examples like this around, "he" vs. "she" vs. "he/she" is comparatively minor.

#R:shell:-11700:uiucdcs:10600122:000:352 uiucdcs!schwager Oct 9 23:32:00 1983 Owing to the fact that you felt it necessary to revert to name calling in the second sentence of the third paragraph in your note, I can only assume that you have the mentality of a 10 year old. I can understand your mistaking Byte for a coloring book, but how in the world did you get a signon to a VAX system?? -Mike Schwager ...uiucdcs!schwager
