Dear Miss Burchard:

It amazes me that people who have not experienced life from the
feminine side can so easily make pronouncements about whether or not
gender-biased or exclusive terms are harmless.  If it's harmless, why
not all use only feminine pronouns here and let the males see how it feels?

Best wishes,
