Grammatical Rule of Thumb

1.Using "he" in a sentence as the default pronoun(instead of "he or she") for someone of an unknown gender,a person using this rule is thus considered a sexist by feminists.
2. Rule that compares such a person previously described to that of a wife-beater(wife beating is where the Rule of Thumb part originates).

My feminist English teacher yelled at me about my use of the Grammatical Rule of Thumb in my English paper.
