Sometimes it's a good thing. Most of the time it's not.

For example, take "sexist language." I can totally see why some people would be offended by using "he" in the subjunctive hypothetical (whenever you refer to no one in particular.) How about the "-man" words like postman and policeman?

I've been corrected on this one multiple times by snobs. Look, peeps. The word "woman" ends in the same "-man" suffix. In context, it's gender neutral.
