Can't really award you this point. For years (up until about 20 years or so ago), it was proper (American) English grammar to refer to a generic person as "he" ("his", "him", etc), whether the person in actuality was male or female. Then there was the "s/he" and "his/her" hybrid words. Now I'm not sure what the proper grammar is, but it seems that a lot of people now refer to a generic person as "she", or oscillate between the two sexes throughout the conversation.
For anyone over 30 years old, I think the masculine phrase in generic use is going to be the standard for a lot of people for decades to come.
