Not in and of itself. This is like saying that all cats are vicious (and I happen to be a cat lover).

My cat snarls at politically-correct gender neutral language! All cats become vicious when confronted with bad theology. biggrin

The whole move to re-write the texts with inaccurate language just so that it is gender neutral is rooted in the politics of secular feminism. That is part of the reason the Vatican has labeled it (like this example of omitting the word "men" in the Creed) as "theologically grave". That good people don't see the root politics does not mean that they don't exist.

Secular humanism and gender feminism is one thing.

Seeking to make the texts as accurate as possible is another.
