[liberationtech] Guardian reporter delayed e-mailing NSA source because crypto is a pain

[Paul Bernal (LAW)]

That may well be true, but the addition of the footnote seems to suggest otherwise, and indeed could be regarded as the first bit of trolling. Still, let's move on.

You could 1. ignore it, since it's a strange thing to get upset about, and didn't seem intentional, or 2. ask the person to use "their" nicely. Saying "use 'her'" and calling it misogyny is just trolling. Don't feed the trolls!

I have to say, I'm on Jillian and Anne's side on this one. It's easy to be non-sexist (e.g. use 'their' instead of either 'his' or 'her') and also easy to apologise when you slip up, rather than complain. We all make mistakes - why not just say 'sorry' and try not to do it again?

Why not use "her" instead of "his"?

Using "his" in 2013 is, indeed,  misogyny
