Tip #594: Gender-neutral job titles


Our language has traditionally been gender divided when referring to particular jobs, such as mailman, stewardess, waitress.

To make the language more reflective of our current reality, most single-gender words have been changed to be non-gender specific. For example, mailman became mail carrier; stewardess - flight attendant; and waitress - server.
