Fine, but harmful is harmful.

Yes, A=A. You’ll find most people don’t disagree with that.

Well, you said relatively unimportant.

I do feel that the fact that our pronouns are male-gendered is less important than an attempt to stop women from making their own health decisions. I am going to spend a lot more time and energy on the second than on the first. Do you think that’s a mistake on my part, that my time would be better served not working for Emily’s List and other organizations, but instead attempting to get writers to use ‘she’ as the default pronoun?

Yes, but not enough and not fast enough. And people like to pretend we’re a lot further along than we really are.

Sure. That’s why I used the present tense of ‘infests’.
