I hate the invasion of PC in technical books

[FeminismsCancer]

So I'm reading "Understanding the Linux Kernel" and as in much of all technical literature today great care seems to be taken not to offend the 0.01% femoids who will read it.

An example:

Any Unix-like operating system has a special user called root or superuser . The system administrator must log in as root to handle user accounts, perform maintenance tasks such as system backups and program upgrades, and so on. The root user can do almost everything, because the operating system does not apply the usual protection mechanisms to her. In particular, the root user can access every file on the system and can manipulate every running user program.

It enrages me when I see language like this.
