Dear o sung wu,

Perfectly acceptable that you flag that you are probably too old to move with social norms. I'm sure a few have left me behind already too. I've probably a few more years before I receive the official curmudgeonly old fart stripes on the sleeve but it is getting closer.

I'm wondering if you had any objection to the term policewoman? Did you feel the differentiation of the sexes was needed and appropriate? Or should police officer now be the standard?

If you are a traditionalist should we retain the term air hostess or stewardess rather than moving to flight attendant? What about those male nurses who fought to have the term 'Sister' replaced with 'Charge nurse'?

Or do you think that moving with the times recognises that most professions are no longer the exclusive domain of a particular sex and that our language should reflect that reality?

I get that some of it goes a little further than even I am comfortable with but these things balance themselves out and they really aren't a sign of the world coming to an end.

//Article today about 3 females.

Three women have opened up about living with their non-traditional labels
They discussed being pansexual, sapiosexual, polyamorous and asexual //

Good grief, do people really have nothing better to interest them than the sex lives of strangers? Grubby little perverts. Also suggests that they're not getting enough.

Oh, right. It's the Daily Mail. Well that explains everything.

Toni Lavis - Your comment above to my post shows your ignorance and bias.

The world does not revolve around you and only you, an understanding of other people etc is important to having an open mind on subjects.

When you consider other points of view it sometimes may help to improve your own opinions on subjects.

Does not mean you have to agree with them.

//an understanding of other people etc is important to having an open mind on subjects.//

Sure, but there's a difference between being open-minded and being a sticky-beak. Although it's probably largely subjective.

And the Daily Mail is still unadulterated crap. It's the sort of tabloid that even Kyle Sandilands would find a bit trashy. I'll get my anthropological knowledge from other sources if it's alright with you.

I'm very sorry folks I'm quite unwell today - sorry. o sung wu

Dear o sung wu,

No worries mate. Speak soon.

Cheers.
