She’s a HERO!

She's a heroine: a woman noted for courageous acts or nobility of character.


The left wants to remove distinctions of sex. Don't let them control the language.

My ex-mother-in-law could not get enough of those cheesy romance novels.

I’d say she was addicted to heroine.

Thank you. That goes for "actress" and "authoress" too.

The lefties want to just do the opposite.

It was always technically correct to call a person of either sex in Congress a Congressman, but that was denigrated. So the distinction was demanded. But apply it to hero/heroine, actor/actress, priest/priestess, steward/stewardess, host/hostess, and suddenly the women demand to be blurred with the men. (Although I admit to having used the term "male stewardess" as a jocuarism.) Thank you for using the proper term "sex", rather than the word "gender" which is primarily used in describing language constructs.
