I`m surprised they did`nt take it even further. I mean, isn`t the word superman inappropriate and sexist? If a male member of Congress has to be called a Congressperson, should`nt the PC crowd be up in arms and demanding he be called superperson? Maybe not, though. The word person implies a member of the species homo sapiens, so using the word person could be construed as being specist. How about superlifeform?
