A curious affectation of my youth

I put myself in the habit of occasionally using the feminine pronoun in the general case in the late 70's. At the time, I suppose, I felt that it was a way to challenge assumptions of gender roles and help folks break free of their prejudices.

Thanks goodness that isn't necessary anymore , but I have kept the habit.

The only thing stranger than your "affectation" is the explanation and continual usage of it.
