Consider how gender-biased the name “Nursing” is for a profession. Why was the name left unchanged at the same time that “man” was removed from the name of many occupations? (Fireman = firefighter, fisherman = fisher, etc.)

If the feminazis were interested in equality, they would work to rectify the lopsided female-biased gender imbalance in education. That's blowing smoke as we all know, since they haven't done anything about it.
