GretaThunberg I hear many say “2019 was the year when the public woke up to the climate crisis”.
This is a misconception.
A small but rapidly growing number of people have started to wake up to the climate crisis.
This has only just begun. We’re still only scratching the surface.

@EnglishGibson I don't think there's anything in particular about these examples that makes it "not worth bothering" to use feminine forms. It's just that some women don't consider generic masculine forms problematic, or even if they do, sometimes they use them anyway - just like men!
