i learnt in school that the masculine form is the default. when i use male pronouns it is because i am not assuming gender. i actually refer to most women using masculine words in real life, it has always felt very natural to me (I consider this true "feminism", really humanism -- presuming all sentient entities equivalent in character as a default).
Of course Melon is a 14 year old Japanese girl in real life though. i would never dispute the facts.

Same here actually. I always use masculine pronouns and nouns. Ill say like "bye guys" etc. to 2 women on my way out of the bar.
Any group of women and men, automatically refer to them all as male too. But I do it with women in groups too. Group of women will be offhandedly referred to as "guys" during convo such as "yeah I bet you guys like that." etc.
I consider this to have fringe benefits as what is known as a "false-disqualifier" when running game. So whether its casual convo, polite convo, or gaming for pickups, its going to stay in my vocabulary.
Never met a woman strong enough to protest it, or take issue with it per se.
