Gotcha - thanks. I've heard of the equal proportion approach, but I guess I assumed that it should apply per-post, which incited my observation of a sudden shift in writing style. It's interesting, though -- it reminds me of the equal protection debate: the colorblind constitution versus a more acknowledging, anti-subordination interpretation. If the colorblind perspective is at all applicable here, the equal proportion approach to pronouns is misguided; in fact, the very existence of male and female pronouns is flawed in that the duality is inevitably subordinating. Some might argue to have a single, unisex pronoun, but I cannot name anyone in particular. Again, I have not thought all this through, so I don't want to associate myself rigidly with any particular "position." I hope that is acceptable, for now.
