Why do authors switch between male and female pronouns in their papers? I am so fucking tired of this. Every time I see it I have to take a moment, sigh, and reread the entire sentence because of it. If they started the paper referring to 'a researcher' with a 'he', why do they feel obliged to spice it up with 'herself' along the way? Pic isn't actually related but it's what reminded me of this shit.

Because the patriarchy is the only conspiracy theory that is not only accepted, but openly taught as fact in academia.
