They're taught from high school journalism to use gender neutral, pc language.

Yup. I roll my eyes when someone refers to Mrs. Jones as "chairperson." If she is a female, she should be referred to as "ChairWoman." This PC stuff is out of hand.

Even our Pastor is doing this. I called him on it, and he said he did not want to offend anyone. I told him that since I chaired the Building Committe, I was to be referred to as ChairMAN; my wife was chair of another committee, and she was to be reffered to as ChairWOMAN.

Sheesh!

These pastors that "don't want to offend anyone" just drive me up the wall. Has this become the new 11th Commandment or something? A few months ago I confronted our pastor as to why he wasn't coming down hard on the gay movement, gaia in the schools, radical feminists, world gov't, etc. His response was that his church was not in the business of offending attendees (DONORS) and his mission was to bring people to the Lord. I tried to convince him that this approach was particularly counter-productive to our youth but to no avail......needless to say I haven't been back since.
