Stylistically, in the English language, it is not appropriate to use "male" or "female" as nouns when referring to humans. It doesn't sound good. It is also more of an issue because you'll hear "female" much more often used than "male". I won't rehash whether and why it's offensive, but ironclad's main defense was that he uses both terms, without thinking too much of it. So on an individual basis, he gets a pass for me, since now I have proof of that, and because he doesn't live in an English-speaking country. But the overall point still stands. Unless you're discussing biology, don't use "male" and "female."
Do any viewers of Revolution not want both teenaged leads to die?

Same. I'll probably still tune in for episodes that significantly advance the plot, though. *NM*

I also hate her "moral compass" positions. And dude, let's not phrase the last sentence that way...

SM Stirling's Emberverse destroyed steam power too, but they still use the rail roads.
