I'd actually disagree with you when it comes to words like waitress and actress. The origins of those words might be shady, but with the way they're perceived today, if I used "waiter" or "actor" to describe myself it would feel as though I think I need to conform to the masculine "default" if I want to be considered as worthy as a man at the same job. Using "waitress" and "actress" is important to me because I can be just as good without having to ID as masculine even in an indirect way.

The reason I see "jack off" differently is because I don't think "jack off" is a masculine term. It hadn't even occurred to me before this. I thought it had to do more with the motions involved - like a jackhammer? (Another anon above articulated this better). "Jack" isn't just a man's name; it's also an English word that has other meanings. "Jill" otoh is just a name and it feels weird to associate masturbation with a name.

tl;dr I agree with you about "jack off" but not for the same reasons
