Somehow, I’d find recent fuss (like here at the NCReg) about avoiding the term “woman” a bit more convincing if the same media outlets and writers were avoiding the generic “man” when referring to people in general.
It seems so much simpler in a courteous society. Each person determines how they want to be addressed, and polite people accept it and speak appropriately as they are asked.
