Using pronouns such as 'she' for males is a form of manipulation known as forced teaming - it subtly coerces you into thinking you have shared goals. Notice when males use 'we' when talking about women & girls - they are inserting themselves in to the definition of female.

Another TRA tactic of manipulation is claiming something which is simple is actually complex. E.g. the definition of female or sex-based language such as pronouns. This is intended to create self-doubt and allows the goal posts to be moved. It enables gaslighting & evasion.
It is often dressed up in a way that to question it would suggest one is stupid. Who could be so stupid to see this complex problem in simple terms? Who could be so vulgar as to dismiss the nuance? Oversimplification is dangerous, but not when we are talking about facts.
The best example of how twaddle triumphs with this tactic is queer theory. This is how Butler built a career on bullshit. As antidote read Martha Nussbaum's the professor of parody https://newrepublic.com/article/150687/professor-parody
This is a fantastic essay on the subject - Pronouns are Rohypnol - 'They dull your defences. They change your inhibitions. They’re meant to. You’ve had a lifetime’s experience learning to be alert to ‘him’ and relax to ‘her’. https://uncommongroundmedia.com/banned-from-medium-pronouns-are-rohypnol/
