When you quote an older source (in a positive light), and that source uses the sexist language of its era, do you do anything about that, or do you just quote it literally?
Here's a literal quote:
"The expert must find his place within the social process; he can never be made a substitute for it. Technical experience must be made a part of all the available experience."
Would you maybe bracket "his" and "he" and replace them w/non-gendered language?
