Does this herald the extinction of dustman?

    Blah, feminists need to settle down and get back in the bloody kitchen.

    Isn't that the whole point as the bloggers go on....... the "sensible" feminists really don't care that much. it is PC do gooders that have suggested this. :roll:

    I am certainly part of mankind (even if I do wear high heels and carry a hand bag) 8)

    Can't be feperson, shurely? Perhaps feper(non-gender specific end syllable) - feperbeing?

    On the other hand, if "man" is to be rejected, surely then "fe-" is also appallingly sexist. Which leads us to "??perbeing". Linguistically sensitive suggestions welcomed.
