Anonymous4: Anons 3-4: You are forgetting that the English language has a gender neutral application of the masculine terms.
So, the sentence "The driver of the car flicked his cigarette out the window" does not tell us anything about the driver (whether or not that person is male or female is unknown).
An_Onymous: ITT Anon incorrectly supposes that the old epicene usage of "he" to refer to a non-specific person (e.g. "he who smelt it, dealt it") can work with a specific person as well.
