Could I please ask for some explanation of the multiple downvotes I've received here? I note the following:
1. I made my point politely, and constructively.
2. I did also offer an answer.
3. My point was not related to "preferred pronouns" or even "political correctness". It's simply a violation of basic avoidance-of-sexism principles to use a male pronoun in this situation, when a technical cofounder may be any gender. (It hasn't been acceptable to do that for several decades.)
