Alcoholics: “…Turn Our Will and Our Lives Over to the Care of God, as We Understand HER…” ????

Question by Lady Morgana: Alcoholics: “…turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understand HER…” ????
If you had the chance to vote on whether there should be an ADDENDUM to the Big Book, stating that it is ACCEPTABLE to Alcoholics Anonymous to for meetings to offer the Twelve Steps using feminine pronouns, would you vote yes or no?

If no, why?
If yes? why?

Remember, this would not CHANGE the words that are already in the Big Book, it would ADD this as an acceptable alternative.
to Saint of Sorts: you say the gender of the pronoun doesn’t matter. With all due respect, please SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! It matters a lot to me, and to many millions of women. You are a man, of course it doesn’t matter to you! Your gender is the one they are using to the EXCLUSION OF MINE!
to all: the Higher Power is NOT undefined. It is referred to in the preamble to meetings as “He” and it is THAT which needs changing. My Higher Power is NOT male. I don’t say another’s can’t be male, but they can’t exclude mine. It should be either be He AND She, or neither.

It’s already acceptable.

Your god could be the Flying Spaghetti Monster, for all they care.

They just want you to turn yourself over to a power greater than yourself.
