No need to gender it ;)
Not forbidden either though, no?
Maybe not, but why would you?
Because it's tedious having to consider who might feel excluded, offended, or whatever else on every single innocent thought. I'm sure op didnt mean just women, it's okay to extrapolate without making a fuss each time.
I don't think anyone was making a fuss, we all know the force of habit. To me, it looked like a simple reminder.
If you don't want to spend that energy and time, will you at least accept the help of others pointing it out? It's okay to acknowledge when you're being thoughtless without getting defensive.
