[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 150650, member: 134"] I'll put it to you this way... My wife is a big time scrapbooker. When she goes onto her forums, watches YouTube videos, and product demos on TV, they always address the audience as if it is female. They are perfectly aware there are male scrapbookers, as some even do the product demos, but the majority are female. So everything tends to be "her" and "she". There's no need to make it politically correct and all inclusive. Yes, there are female pinball players. They are in my league, I interviewed Molly, who runs her own arcade, and a few have stepped into this very forum. I doubt any one of them feels offended or left out because of the definite article that is being thrown around is of the male persuasion. For the record, I will now use 'dude' in the podcast to cover all genders, unless I am absolutely referring to a female, in which case I shall use the word 'chica'. [/QUOTE]
