Re: Gender thread

[(Anonymous)]

A real irritant for me is when people use a gendered word for a non-gendered profession, if it's a woman doing the job.

You don't see so much of it these days. I personally go out of my way to say "actor" in a gender neutral way when possible, and I glare at anyone who said "authoress" or "aviatrix."

Just...no.

Bonus: I bet if they could, these people would invent the term "doctorette!"

Aviatrix is a hella cool word, though.

Re: Gender thread

[(Anonymous)]

This. I love gendered Latin endings for exactly that reason.

Consider: a sleight-of-hand artist is a prestidigitator. However, if she's a woman, she's a prestidigitatrix.

And if she has a lady friend in the same line of work they are, together, prestidigitatrices.

I cannot be upset about anything that makes me smile that widely. I'm sorry.

I was a huge fan of "gladiatrix" - damn like, if you'd walk in with a sword, that word alone could make you feel powerful.

This. I wanna learn to fly and wear a scarf and leather jacket and be an aviatrix!

Re: Gender thread

[(Anonymous)]

It's fine that you feel that way. But I don't. If I ever learned to fly (and that would be so cool!) I would like to be a pilot, an aviator, anything that describes my training and ability without bringing gender into it.

Re: Gender thread

I'm glad other people think this too!

Re: Gender thread

When my parwnts were putting affairs together, my mom asked which of us wanted to be the executrix to their will. I dwclined just on the stupidity o the name.

Re: Gender thread

But do you avoid saying "dominatrix?"

"Dominator" just doesn't have the same implications, IMO.
