Gender Specific Language

These are some words I found that are Gender Specific Language and here is how I changed them:

Fireman - Firefighter

Ironman - Ironest

Airman - Airest

Tourman - Tourer

Spiderman - Spiderhero



I chose 2 random words and 3 major ones. I changed some of them to words that dont even exist. Alot of people acuse words of being man and some women dont appreciate that. So we should be more careful for the things we say.

    I like the way you said "people accuse words of being man..." which tells me that you have a very powerful usage of the English language. I would use the spell check alot more in your future postings.
