Life's a bitch
Is the title of this blog sexist?
I don't know, and neither would anyone else in the SE faculty, apparently.
I just received my fourth (and final!) workterm report back from marking.
On Page 1, Reviewer A notes in pencil that my use of the politically-correct term "he or she" is awkward and has no place in a technical document.
On Page 5, Reviewer B notes in pen that my use of the term "man-month" is sexist and I should strive to find a gender-neutral term.
Fuck it, I passed.
