10 -chairman, chairwoman, o …?-
Nota d'usoDa più parti si sostiene che l'uso tradizionale di parole che terminano in - man (ad es. chairman, cameraman, fireman, policeman, workman) escluda le donne dalla categoria in questione. In molti casi si sono diffusi termini alternativi che comprendono al loro interno entrambi i generi: ad esempio chair, chairperson, camera operator, firefighter, police officer, worker. Di conseguenza, l'uso di uno di questi termini al plurale (in questo caso chairmen) per indicare la categoria e quindi entrambi i sessi non è accettato da tutti. -
