This reminds me of arguments from the 70s with the growth of feminism. At
the time, there were some in the feminist movement who argued to ban the
use of "man" even when the roots of the word had nothing to do with gender.
It certainly didn't benefit the movement or help gain credibility - in the
main it was seen as somewhat ridiculous and if anything gave ammunition to
the anti-feminist movement. I fear this discussion will do the same.
