It was an attempt to broaden the audience to females for money.
No. It was literally a push from various libtards in the office like Johnny Wilson (Dragon and Dungeon magazine EIC pre-Paizo) in the run-up to woke from 2000.
They thought they were being "inclusive" and "sensitive". No women of the time that weren't rabid misandrist feminists gave a ****.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.
If you can.
I wonder who added that, because it definitely wasn't Gygax. He was a bioessentialist.
If it's in the AD&D PHB, then Gygax wrote it and wanted it there. He had FULL control and was meticulous in his book designs.
What he's saying there is women make poorer warrior classes because their strength is restricted.

Yes, 3.5 had a policy of alternating male/female examples. It's explained in the introduction of one of the books (I don't remember if it was in the DMG or later). Paizo would later have a policy of using only female pronouns for some classes - probably based on the "iconic " character they created for each class.
D&D 3rd edition started the iconic character gimmick, which Paizo then borrowed for Pathfinder.
Nah, the pronoun for a person of unknown gender defaults to "he" until proven otherwise.
1. The correct word is sex. Gender is a grammatical thing. Anyone applying the word 'gender' to human beings is mentally ill.
2. 'He' is correct for the rhetorical case, such as "he who has the last laugh", while 'they' is correct when referring to a specific person of unknown sex, or where one wishes to conceal the sex of of the person being discussed.
