Musing on 17 March 2026
oops
Words like "postman" and "chairman" are considered sexist these days because the "man" part can exclude women. But why change
all
these words? All we need to do is change
one
word: "man". I propose that the word "man" be abolished; a female human is a woman, and a male human is a
heman
. And a human who delivers mail is a mailman, regardless of sex.
