When dealing with pronouns in print, I just use the male as a default, unless it is specified that I am talking about a female. This is how the English language works, folks. Having attempted to learn French, I really don't want to have to gender-split all the verbs and come up with really weird GN fixes for everything.
Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Ed. took a lot of fire for using different gender pronouns throughout the books. In the Classes chapter of the Players Handbook they had example characters for the different classes, and used the correct pronoun for that character for examples in the rest of the book. Both the example Sorcerer and Wizard were female, so all pronouns relating to arcane magic were female. I had no problem with this, but it really pissed some people off.
Feh. If sexual reproduction wasn't so much fun, I'd say go back to asexual fissio
