Contrary to technical official definition, in REAL WORLD usage, "he" is BOTH a masuline AND a gender-neutral pronoun. A few occasional nutbags who deliberately ignore the "gender-neutral" possibility in order to promote their "you are all sexists" agenda is NO excuse for bowing to thier pressure.
Personally I don't perceive he as ever being gender neutral(us native speaker). If I am trying to be gender neutral then I will use "they" or "that person" or "one". If some one did try to use he in a gender neutral context then I think it would sound weird to me.
