MSN should use masculine pronouns with feminine pronouns in the paragraph
found in their Training website, or stick with non-sexist neutral pronouns.
Unless MSN is decidedly feminist, the excluse portrayal of bosses as all
being female is unrealistic, to say the least, and sexist, to use a familiar
"approbation." Although such grievances have been voiced by feminists and
feminist sympathizers about gender and authority, to frown upon masculine
only designations of positions (e.g. mailman), the exclusivisty, prejudice,
and unprofessionalism of the paragraph cited is an injustice against male
employers and egalitarianists--who desire equality between the sexes. MSN
should use both or neutral gender words in its appropriate context; boss is
not an exclusively female term.

What's wrong with being feminist? Whose definition of "feminist" are you
following? I don't really buy into Rush Limbaugh's, myself.

Until the English language develops a gender-neutral pronoun (or "they"
becomes more officially acceptable as a workaround), this sort of thing is
always going to be awkward. And personally, I think there are bigger fish to
fry - I'd say the same, were your complaint in the other direction.
 
Oh grow up and worry about real world problems!
