ACIM uses the pronoun "he" to refer to all people,
and that has upset some women students.
This controversy inspired the following poem:

The course is full of He's galore;
We find one Her and nothing more.

We do not find one single She,
Yet We are He and He is We.

He's and She's are all called Son.
My sisters cry, "Hey, that's no fun!"

So when we are told God has no name.
And only we create our pain.

I hope you will not throw a fit
If I call God my Beloved IT!
