I'm reading pic related. The author continuously uses 'she'

maybe he wants to be a little girl

definitely a possibility

99% of textbooks writen in the past ~10 years do this. Sometimes it makes absolutely no sense, but hey gotta be pc.

>yes i know 'they' isn't actually singular
It can be. Why not?

You have admittedly consumed toxic binary cisgender hate propaganda and have therefore become identified as an enemy of the Revolution. The proper pronoun is xhey, scum.

Don't read this fucking liberal cuckold's faggotry. Get political philosophy book made for real MEN. Get the Strauss/Cropsey History of Political Philosophy.

It's very common for philosophy students who want to show how woke they are.

Sorry for the dumb reddit style meme but this is a good illustration of the type of shit they do.

> Why does he do this?
Depends on context. You'd have to give a specific example. I don't see an issue with using 'she' if it makes sense and doesn't compromise the meaning of his work.

> Is this common in academic writing?
No, especially in philosophy where precise wording and nuance is particularly important.

The fact that he subtitles this fucking disgrace of a book with "a beginners guide for students AND politicians" just make me crack up. He thought it was that important lol.
