i guess i'm not terribly surprised, but it seems that in fields where women are few, it's easy to automatically assign everyone male pronouns. even i am guilty of making that mistake on occasion, sadly.

so yes, not surprised, but appreciative, because i honestly would not have noticed if he'd used "he" and "him."
