Most of the time, when dealing with a computer problem, I really would
rather not make a distinction. But there are topics where the sex/gender
of people matters, if only to talk about how much it really DOESN'T
MATTER. So, how do does one refer to this topic without being offensive
to some people?
I am somewhat "out of the loop" on the sexism topic. What is sexist
about woody? How can I ask such a question without being offensive?
