Now, Jim, not all women of the nineties are C. MacKinnon. Some of us are Camille Paglia admirers. (See my updated profile.) When I headed one professional organization--and I was the first woman to do so--I preferred chairwoman to chairperson. All of my predecessors had been chairmen so why should I throw my sex and gender out the window? And remember the short-lived atrocity, waitron? I still wince at waitperson. Having said this, I have the same memories as penni. No to mention, but I shall, the interview during which I was asked my family plans so frequently that, in exasperation and knowing that I wasn't going to be offered the position, I finally said, "You are making me feel like nothing more than a walking uterus waiting to drop." The situation may have become ridiculous now. Its ridiculousness does not mean that things were not equally ridiculous 25 years ago.
