I think these days we have too much concern of political correctness. I'm a female academic and I'm in no way offended by the post. The "she" or female here is used quite differently than for instance in the book flatland ( http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/97/pg97-images.html ), which is quite demeaning.hknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439168179960787195.post-86819076023832186172018-06-20T12:42:57.463+10:002018-06-20T12:42:57.463+10:00Thanks for the comments.

Ma..."She" is used throughout the article. May be inadvertently used by the author , since it was written long before the internet. The " He's" are also responsible for this after they get tenure. There are more " He's " than " She's " in academia. Please, a request , write your own one line appendix as "Please take it as gender neutral" <br />There are plenty of articles in Journal of Education a good journal on the aspect you have posted.
