The reason you don't like it is because it's a conscious decision, whereas saying "he" is, in almost all cases, reflexive. Whether or not she means to, she is on at least one level trying to make a point.

Yeah, but it's clear that what bothers the OP is not just that she is trying to make a point, but that she is trying to make a point with a particular substantive content.
