Fully agreed! It's 'took her on', though.
It's just insane how competent some people are. Here's an interesting interview from 5 month ago.
It absolutely does matter - male default needs to stop!
I didn't use male as the default, I had just seen various forum posts over the years referring to Putnam as him and assumed that was correct.
Oh sure - I'm not calling you out or anything. But somewhere along the line the people whose forum posts you were reading had made the male default assumption, and it stuck with you! Not your fault that someone else made that assumption.
All good - I should have been more mindful and probably used gender neutral language instead.
In case someone is wondering about your response: My comment originally included the phrase "Not that it matters, [...]", but I immediately edited my comment after I posted it, because I agree with your sentiment. You were faster than me.
Thanks for leaving context here, so I don't look like a raving lunatic :P
I learnt something new today.
