huh? you don't need sentience for genders.

@Jared Huke: I love illustrator, but it's not a good program for web design. Photoshop or (ugh) Fireworks are much better for that.

Much of the issue at hand is due to the loose use of the word Design and Designer. Lifehacker has articles all the time about better cooking, but you don't often see Chefs getting defensive in the comments.
