What are they going to do about the sexist term woman?

For years, my favorite answer for morons who insist of using terms like “chairperson” or “spokesperson” has been, “Then why don’t we say ‘woperson’ instead of ‘woman’?”
The suffix “-man” means “person”.

The suffix -man means person. Nope, no good. Can't use "person", it has "son". Might go for "woperdaughter", but to do it right, it should be "woperoffspring".
Now please try to keep this stuff straight... :)
