However I find it incredibly silly and distracting when I come across a "she" pronoun simply because I know it's there to make a point, so it ultimately distracts from the topic matter in question.

Example:

When looking for a doctor, make sure she's highly qualified.

We don't know who started the fire, but she will be held responsible.

... stuff like that.

Have you guys noticed this? Thoughts?
