Yeah, the book is generally quite even handed in its treatment of gender I think! Mostly that bit was just a snarky aside about the level of drift in the concept from the original usage.

Thanks, glad you did! Honestly, they were slightly terrifying to tweet I assumed I was going to get ratioed so hard, so I'm really pleased at how well received they've been.
