So, when will the plumbing industry move away from gender pronouns?
I can just see it now, an average guy goes into his nearby corporate box hardware store and heads back to the plumbing isles to be greeted by Pat in her orange vest and asks how she can help. The guy says he is looking for a 3/4” ball valve with a male nipple. He is quickly tackled by Pats posse and dragged off to re-education camp to get his mind right. When all he was trying to do was get a part to better drain his water heater.
