The above is all true but only because gender-neutral words are not yet used widely enough, and the only way to change that is to systemically prefer gender-neutral words. Isn't it part of hacker mentality that one should fix broken things and one should not be afraid of change?

(I guess this is largely culture related thing, but e.g. among my peers (high educated 30s Europeans) gender-biased words actually cause more distraction.)

Your affectation of the old terminal-style backspacing joke is way more distracting than "gentleman's agreement" could ever have been.

And anyway, I think you'd have been better off just saying, "I wish we could all agree...."

What an odd thing to get your knickers in a twist about.
