Universities in Slovenia are forbidding using HE as they think SHE is more neutral grammatical word.
Faculty of Arts Declares Female Grammatical Gender “Neutral”
simplistic yet authoritative intervention in language.
The rule is already becoming a joke among the public
If this idea that universities in Slovenia have starts to spread around the globe, if will definately make male sex as lesser important and less valued.

I don't follow that. Why would that necessarily be the result? Because 'she' comes with the stamp of lesser value inherently?
Ok then. You can call a man she, as long as we go call a woman, it.
Nothing devaluing in that, right?
