Someone should write a program called "noheshe" through which one can
pipe text with all gender references as he/she, and come out on the
other end with all occurances of he/she changed back to "he". 

I am really tired of struggling through the he/she references in
supposedly technical references. Leave that for TV Guide!!

Read the October Byte, on pp 230, last paragraph. The article was written
by a broad, and she uses the single gender reference "she". Men should
do the same!

Comeon, quiche eaters... Create a file in \usr\bin called "sexist".
In this file have the following:

    echo Running program sexist is for quiche eaters only..
    echo Are you a man or a wimp?

The, whenever you try to run that stupid "sexist" program on your
text, you will be gracefully reminded what a fool you will be making
of yourself!
