It is called inclusive language
No longer an actress
But an actor
No average man
only an average person
A maid is now a housekeeper
A coed is merely a student
Craftsmen have been replaced by craftsperson
Your forefathers are now ancestors
No great men in history
Only historical figures
Tell that to the founding fathers
No more hostesses
Only hosts
I miss hula girls
Don’t like “hula dancers..”
I can no longer “man the decks”
Interview the “man on the street”
Or even be a “middleman.”
But I am well on my way to becoming a
Madman.
