I have a breaking news bulletin: if there exists some method--irrespective how obscure, or nearly impossible to be found--to take what is at most a cheesy/almost possibly creepy hello and transmogrify that plum nearly gauche faux pas into some abject, intellectually deficient reason to lecture someone*, somewhere on Doing It Rite [sic], some positively stupefyingly privileged first world reprobate curiously bereft of a quixotic gallimaufry of a sense of humor, wit, spine and a lick of nuance will nevertheless create some mechanism to make it thus and so.

Ophelia Benson, your stupidity is showing
One is curious why it is that a person who is so acutely aware of words, and seems to have some reasonably appreciable ability to craft them nicely fails so horribly to recognize her use of "sexist" language.
Let's have a look-see as an abject example. You can try this at home, kiddies - just pick any old thread you'd like and read Ophelia's comments; it shows up all over the place. For instance, the skepchicks and that ilk warrant address as people while those who are othered are rendered as men.
Gender traitor mentioned the sexist language that drips over at Ophelia's place. Ophelia takes umbrage.
In response, Ophelia "plays" stupid.
And then she says! Now, read carefully and see if you can't find out where the problem is!
