Ah, yes, but in these days of freedom from sexism, nouns and pronouns
that formerly connoted gender no longer do, right?  We can use the
generic "she" interchangeably with "he", why not "brother" and
"sister"?  Therefore, the gender assumptions in this case can just as
correctly be said to be on the other side of the network wire. (:-)
(Sorry if I offended).
