The feminist aspect appears where one would once have written e.g. 'Every student is to bring three colored markers to his first class,' one [now guiltily writes] (if one isn't a fan of his/her. etc.) write, 'Every student is to bring three colored markers to their first class,' thus avoiding the default to the masculine pronoun.
