Genghis... valid points all ....

I have a real aversion to terms such a "Chairwoman" or "Chairperson" or God forbid, the BBC predaliction for "Chair" like someone is a piece of Chippendale ..... It's ChairMAN .. as in huMAN ....

All I ask for is to be treated as an equal intellectually and not to be tarred with the same brush that some gentlemen seem to think is a female stereotype.

Jan, you see that linguistic minefield over there? Don't step on it ... oh you have. No worries, I get your point.


Cheers
