Most students today in college are told to not use his or he or man when referring to people in general. They are told to write instead he/she or his/her or human. I find it quite ironic since the word her implies that the woman came from man. Some modern dictionaries have taken on board to support the so-called “feminist” movement. Modern bible versions are even trying to neuter the Godhead to make him into some he/she/it. The gender neutral writing is just another ploy by Satan to get man to deny the creation account of the holy scriptures. Satan wants man to believe that woman came before man. The word woman itself testifies against such ridiculous claims. The real word of God uses the pronoun he when referring to mankind in general. Good dictionaries recognize this use of the pronoun he as good English.
Here’s an example of a dictionary (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary) that’s against the gender neutral writing:
he
HE, pronoun of the third person; nom. he; poss.his; obj. him. [L. id, for hid; hic.]
1. A pronoun, a substitute for the third person, masculine gender, representing the man or male person named before. Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Gen.3. Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him shalt thou serve. Deut.10. 2. It often has reference to a person that is named in the subsequent part of the sentence. He is the man. 3. He is often used without reference to any particular person, and may be referred to any person indefinitely that answers the description. It is then synonymous with any man. He that walketh with wise men, shall be wise. Prov.13. 4. He, when a substitute for man in its general sense, expressing mankind, is of common gender, representing, like its antecedent, the whole human race. My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh. Gen.6. 5. Man; a male. I stand to answer thee, or any he the proudest of thy sort.In this use of he, in the ludicrous style, the word has no variation of case. In the foregoing sentence, he is in the objective case, or position, and the word is to be considered as a noun. 6. He is sometimes prefixed to the names of animals to designate the male kind, as a he-goat, a he-bear. In such cases, he is to be considered as an adjective, or the two words as forming a compound.
