Sorry about the formatting, I forgot to turn off html.
Here's what I was trying to say:
-------------------------------
The use of a gendered pronoun like 'his' constitutes a rather baffling piece of sexism and misogyny on Lennart's part, considering he overwrote a valid gender-neutral pronoun. I am disappointed by this, so I would like to propose the use of the gender-neutral 'zir' pronoun. Tech has a big problem with its sexist culture which is offputting to women and minorities. We can't let our FOSS developers do gaffes like this. It is my sincere hope that this patch is applied, and that the systemd developers will pledge to make their hackfests and mailing lists safe spaces for women and minorities.
