I can't be the only one who seriously doesn't even understand this article.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for gender-equality, but say what about languages like Spanish? Do those have to be gender-neutral, too? Should we fire people because their culture dictates that gendered pronouns (which, by themselves, offer little to the conversation except perhaps a passing thought, at best) be used?
Really? Is that what it's come down to?
Of the millions of things that could be argued and put down due to gender inequality, we're firing people over pronouns.

Congratulations. I'll give you that.
