Check your dictionary. :-)

Oh, I know. "He" is definitely the official neutral pronoun in the
English language, just as the word "man" means "human". But I'm
talking connotations here. When most people hear the words "he" or
"man", they think male, regardless of what the dictionary says. And
I think that's problematic. So do a lot of people, not just feminists.
Kids, for example, have a natural tendency to use the word "they" as
a singluar pronoun when they don't know the gender of the person
they're referring to. I certainly did as a kid - it just didn't make
sense to my child's logic to say "he" when the person in question
could be a she... Not that kids always have the best logic, but you
can't deny that it's natural.
