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

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?

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

Well, you were the one that brought up pronouns. I was talking about the fact that culture still tends to assume women as being lesser than men in many ways, including the actions and thoughts of supposedly enlightened people.
