I'd like to see a bunch of examples before I'd conclude this is common in any circle. It is possible I just have not read or heard the right people or have failed to notice it, but I'm usually fairly attentive to sex-differentiated language. I don't see that this goes to the substance of anyone's arguments here (as opposed to perhaps bearing on the attitudes of those who write that way), so I won't further burden the list with discussion on this topic, and do apologize for answering Mark's question in the forum in which he asked it.
