: This is something I have heard in my years in the inclusive language trenches, and contributed to its ubiquity in no small part.

Do I understand correctly, you are saying that you think inclusive language is so widespread because people who did not wish to be genuinely inclusive were happy to throw the language as a "sop" to disaffected feminists, among others?

Interesting theory, but I never suspected such deviousness.
