Well, I'm definitely not a grammar expert (SO not a grammar expert, srs), so it's all good. I'd had it hammered at me before that the singular "they" is incorrect, so hey. Me, though, I love going with a default "she," because it freaks people out so much. Er, not really because I like freaking people out--although if some little "Nice Guy" wants to get up on his hind legs about it because it offended him, so much the better if his latent sexism is exposed--but because, well, men got to be the default for 20,000 years, and it's sort of delicious to play with the idea of LADYPANTS being the default. It makes my brain sit up and go "Wha?" in a way that I find entertaining. :-D
Politics + Neuroscience = ...no, scratch that.

Yeah, you too? I wasn't seeing a lot of names in there that I knew. There was one person who seemed pretty reasonable, not one of the (avowed) dudes, but someone else...eh, can't remember her username. She was slightly less infuriating, at any rate.
That teapot dude needs to STFU and get off my internet, though, because he's been braying a lot in FFR lately and I'm pretty sure it's the "dude invading a woman-majority space" thing. Notice how someone immediately was all "OMG UR SO SMRT"? I hate it when that happens. That happens in the fiber comms on Yahoo; some dude marches in waving his tiny tin penis around and at least one woman is all, "OMG, U SO TALENTED." STOP IT, LADIES. JUST STOP.
Well, you said I could be ranty...
Gotta re-read Ronia. I think I was 12 when I read it. Too long ago.

EDITed because some of that didn't make no sense.
