Political correctness is such a depressing drain on the world. Leave it how it is. It's fine.

Reminds me of when they tried to rename Manholes to "Personnel Access Units" to avoid offending women.

If you're offended that something is named a 'manhole', you probably have too much time on your hands.

The word "manhole" is not a fair comparison. In that case they were dealing with an inanimate object. In this case, we're labeling any developer who would need this tool. Hence the inappropriate use of gender.

What if a website with nursing resources was subtitled "...for the caring woman"?

[kibibu]

Let me guess, you're a man?

I'm assuming you're going to disregard their comment because of their gender? What does it matter what gender the parent comment poster is? They should have a voice too...

[kibibu]

Actually, yes, I do tend to disregard claims that "everything is fine" from those who are not being aggrieved.

[Gigablah]

How would you respond if theknown99 turns out to be a woman?

[kibibu]

Actually I'm not sure. However, I certainly don't want to "out" theknown99 as either gender.

I will add an addendum to my response as it is overly aggressive.

[Gigablah]

Well, since we're on the issue of political correctness, theknown99 could be transgender too :)

[kibibu]

Ok, it's too late for me to edit, so please forgive my hastily aggressive response. What I meant by it is that it is easy to dismiss complaints about "one-sidedness" if things are tilted in your favour.

Wow, that was a hell of a sexist remark.
