Hull University insists on gender neutral language

Four. The man in chairman is from the Latin root manus meaning hand. I.e. Gender non specific, so if you're marked down call a solicitor (a legal practitioner not a prostitute).

 

Whether it be a legal practitioner or a prostitute, you will get screwed, right?

What about the man in Chairwoman?

 

That's derived from idiots not knowing the meaning of chairman Why would you need chairwoman when chairman doesn't refer to a man?

Cant see the problem. Its useful to be able to provide advice in a gender neutral fashion or at least avoid being overtly sexist.

Soon, the word sexist will also be banned, along with sex itself. We are approaching mechanical reproduction and a vibrator/device based society.

Jane Fonda had something similar in Barbarella, can't recall it's name though.
