'And I will make you fishermen of men'?<br>
<br>
I intend to pepper my speech with terms like firewoman and terminatrix from now on.<br>

I love the recommendations to use your judgment/discretion. This is OK if you have some.<br>

Here's what European Commission's English Style Guide states on gender forms<br>(§6.15) - personally I love the concept of a word like "dustwoman" or even<br>"fisherwoman" :-):<br><br>"Noun forms. Use your judgment in choosing noun forms to emphasise or
<br>de-emphasise gender. </blockquote></div><br>
