just wait a minute here now.
Women = Plural for for the ladies.
Woman = Singular for the ladies.
They both have man/men in the words, so why not just leave it alone.

Yeoman specific to men, Meowoman specific to women, “YeoMeow” all inclusive.
To: markomalley
"Yeoperson" is no good because it's got "son" in it. We need to use "yeoperchild".

This is ridiculous. “Man” in yeoman is an Old English word that means “person”, not “male”; see “woman.”

By the brave men and women in our armed forces...what? There were no women hitting the beaches? That does not stop the inclusive wording of our new texts!

With a lot of upper body strength, a whole lot of BLOOD, and a lot of DEAD and HORRIBLY MAIMED YOUNG MEN.
How are the queers, feminazis and government going to react when we really have to PAY for real estate in the future?
WHO THEY GONNA BLAME?

Well, there’s always “Administrative Assistant”. Rating badge to include “Death By A Thousand Paper Cuts!” We can make it work...

We preferred Captain’s Catamite. But then again I was just a Quartermaster.

As a Yeoman veteran, the hell with this administration, and the wienies that are left in charge. When I served, the CNO was Admiral Zumwalt, and I regularly had to pass on all of the “Z Grams” that he dictated. I had respect for him and the brass. I have a lot less for the ones now, especially John Kirby, former Admiral, who is now the State Department’s Press Spokesman. That lying SOB would have never made it in our Navy! Change our name? Up your ballast a-holes...
