Reading some older books recently and have found it intensely off-putting that gender references are unambiguously male Resisting an urge to dismiss surrounding content as equally outdated/irrelevant, I worry this unfairly biases me to modern literature Anyone else notice this?
data from studies in older books if they were based on data from polls in the workplace because at the time (and especially as studies in the US), there was a much larger male workforce. Not all are like that though and some authors either point that out or have solid methods.

On that note, I'm honestly happy that nowadays there are plenty of authors that experiment with the use of he/she/they on a chapter basis or use terms interchangeably. If I remember correctly, "The Manager's path" by Camille Fournier does so brilliantly.
