Considering you have yet to present it, that seems a little anticlimactic.

Re: A minor interface glitch ... how many even noticed? (25 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I did share a particular opinion: That part of the masculine/feminine divide is a difference in how men and women manage their personal boundaries. You dismissed it, without counter-argument, without exploration, without asking what in thunder I meant by it.
You assume I dismissed it. I countered. Clearly.
- Sincerely, SHE. (The better pronoun)
Which you selfishly keep to yourselves, while we males are forced to share
Aw! You can use our pronoun!! It is grievously underused! Please, with my compliments!

Ants in your pants over that conversation template of yours again, njc? You're such a hall monitor!
If you want to have a serious discussion about the masculine/feminine divide, as you call it, have one. Say what's on your mind! No one is stopping you? I'm still waiting around for you to say something intelligent on this topic, actually.
If I feel like contributing -- at length, in a one-liner, in mild humor, in dismissal -- I shall do it. If I feel like rolling my eyes and moving on and saying nothing, I shall do it. (Another violation of your conversation etiquette, as I recall!)
It's a lot safer to play the forum police than share a point of view, njc, but I encourage you to try to hold onto your perspective long enough to actually share it, rather than setting it aside to complain about the construction of someone else's remarks and how their forum etiquette makes it IMPOSSIBLE for you to share your own viewpoint, over and over. Other people's forum etiquette has no bearing on your own viewpoint. Try to stay on topic! Take a chance! Speak your mind! Eyes on your own paper! Be an author not an editor! And such. IMPRESS US WITH YOUR THOUGHTS.
A refusal to meet and discuss at a common point is one of the essences of polarization.
That noise you hear in the background is the Feminist Outrage and Vendetta Engine firing up.
You might want to TRY to be a little more consistent in your remarks going forward. The above is rather jarring. But there's time to work it out. Jump in!
- Sincerely, SHE. (The better pronoun.)

Maybe we will read a book written by an author one day rather than a book written by a woman, man, or *insert any other description here that has nothing to do with writing*. Maybe. One day soon.

"He" been used as the generic pronoun for ages. It's a kinda common place.
SO IS THE COMMON COLD?

Try this: women have a far greater need than men to control AND adjust AND manage their boundaries than men have.
I have to agree with this. History is filled with gentlemen shaking hands over border disputes and tipping their top hats.

Re: Lines in literature that make you stop and think. (59 replies, posted in The Write Club -- Creative Writing and Literature Discussions Group)
One of George Eliot's favorite writers was George Sand (Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin). I imagine she took that name because it was the pseudonym of one of her favorite writers. Currer Bell could be either a male or a female name. When I say "that's the way she'd have preferred it," I don't mean I think she'd have preferred to continue to be mistaken for a male writer. I mean I think she'd be glad to be known as an author, rather than a female author.
