Yeah, no way to know what gender someone had so we just pick one based on our twisted worldview where some gender must be better than other because reasons.

Not sure why you got down voted because you are absolutely right

  • we don't know
  • society ascribes everything to the male

If we defaulted to "he or she (they probably)" then things would be better but we simply don't. It is always the man's contribution and it's disappointing
