This is part of a long-term planned effort to eliminate all differences between the sexes. The advantage is that homosexual activity will not be discernable from heterosexual activity in writing and speech. Some parts of society are moving toward this end faster than others but eventually it will all even out. I was recently chastised for calling someone a secretary instead of an executive assistant. When men were men and some actors were actresses, being a secretary was something to be proud of. Private secretary was even more honorific. I don't understand it. The woman who berated me can be routinely found getting the boss his coffee or doing other menial tasks that secretaries have done for decades.
