Gender neutral titles hits the military - Vlad - 01-23-2016
Navy secretary calls for name change from Midshipman to ???
He also wrote: "Please review the position titles throughout the Navy and ensure that they are gender-integrated ... removing 'man' from their titles."
Perhaps someone should send this clown a memo stating that "man" is already gender neutral.
man
2.
a human being of either sex; a person.
"God cares for all races and all men"
synonyms:
human being, human, person, mortal, individual, personage, soul "all men are mortal"

I hate when people say "freshpeople". It's freshmen.

As a retired Military person I can say I see no gender bias in the titles:
Army=Soldiers
Marines=Marine
Navy=Sailor
Air Force= Sugar Britches
