    It's because of the faggity-ass politically correct movement from the 90s that espoused the use of the feminie form for reference to individuals of unknown gender--which is exactly the opposite of what English grammrians have been using for centuries. It's rubbish. In English there is only one true way: masculine form (i.e.: him, his, he.) Anyone who uses otherwise is a fucktard of monstrous proportions.
