Agreed that attribution of things like malice, ignorance, error, and bias to people is tricky... much as with evil, earlier.

This is why I reframed your original question (asking me whether I thought gendered language introduced bias to a significant degree) in a more operational form, actually.

In any case, though, I endorse holding off on expressing opinions while one gathers data (for all that I don't seem to do it very much myself).
