"I came across gendered terms a lot when studying English Literature in school. It was very confusing and difficult to understand why “men” or “he” was used when they actually meant groups of people generally. Young girls reading books written that way might think that women aren't doing anything in society, which is not true. Young boys might think that women can't do things as well as men can, and feel proud thinking that they are better than girls." ~Anon 1
