under rehearsed

As a female writer/techie/puppeteer, I didn't even consider the use of 'he' in this thread. Knowing the regulars as I do, and reading the thread in context of each of the regular's POV, I did not think at all of the pronoun because many of the playwright/directors on here are male and speak in terms of their own experience. Of all the controversial (or not) topics to discuss in this thread, I see the complaint of the use of a pronoun to be fairly over-reactive. I also know that those who spoke in this topic have no sexist intentions, and if you take a look at the recent "vale" threads on this site, you might come to the conclusion that a number of them respect their female counterparts a great deal. Frankly, woman or not, I don't see how the use of 'he' or 'she' really has an impact on whether or not actors are under-rehearsed, or how to combat bad productions because of that under-rehearsal. Furthermore, if you're complaint is that the feamle point of view is not being considered here, maybe instead of picking on the choice of words, you actually particupate in the discussion. Do you, as a female director, have trouble getting actors to rehearse properly? Do you find that they're under-rehearsed as compared to male directors? That might actually contribute to the discussion. But as Jeff says, DFT.
