The inevitable ...

[Loren A. Billings]

Why not a comitative approach: Oni s nim pozhenilis'.

Also interesting in this regard is what happens when a man puts himself in
the shoes of a woman hypothetically, such as advising whether she should
marry: Ia by na tvoem meste ne vyshel/vyshla by zamuzh. According to Olga T.
Yokoyama (conversation, 1993), who raised this examples\, both variants are
possible; the latter occurs with a greater degree of empathy. I, of course,
was interested in the former variant, where it's possible to have _vyshel_
(masc.) with a pragmatically woman-only kind of predicate. There are other
contexts too (such as with _kto_ as subject; e.g., _Kto beremenen?_).
