Really? Are you like that with every word? Have you kept yourself from reading master pieces of literature because you thought "oh, well I think they should've gone with X word instead"?

I once tried to read some long essay where the author had replaced all instances of "he"/"she" with some weird made up gender neutral pronoun "xe" or something like it. It wasn't explained anywhere and I was very confused for a few minutes.
It felt really weird and unnatural and detracted from the main point. Testified to the fact that years later I have no memory of what the essay was about but still remember this.
It's quite sad that some people's first reaction to everything is to assume that the other carries an agenda and there's a need to be defensive.
Person A thinks that everyone else is a sexist person with an agenda. Person B who doesn't agree with person A thinks everyone else is a radical feminist with an agenda. It's a never ending cycle of stupidity.
