In addition fireman and Policeman are sexist

New York scraps word ‘inmate’ in state law


NOW - If I run for office, in my platform I would demand that we disregard that sexist

It is a silly law. Eventually over time the new fangled term will be old and carry the same baggage of meaning as the term it replaced.
