I get you. All I have to say is this in response: Its easy to say that specifying gender is irrelevant when the speaker is a man. Women have been forgotten or purposely obscured in history books since forever. There's nothing wrong with positing that a woman may have done X. If there's an obvious potential for female context, why suppress it?
