> In school, I wrote a paper for my sociology class, using "he" throughout, as that is gramatically correct. My professor actually told me I should change my wording to "he or she" in every instance. It is degrading to females, apparently, to use proper grammar.

Way to get around this: At the start, put something like "Unless stated, where 'he' is used, it should be taken to mean 'he or she'. This is not intended to convey in any way, shape or form that the female gender is inferior to the male gender."
