Pick your battles. While I wholeheartedly endorse replacing gender specific titles, such as fireman and policeman, it seems a bit anal to scrub words like manpower from our vocabulary. Is the word human considered sexist?

I think ‘human’ is okay actually, but I have to agree with dw99 that ‘man’ by itself is sexist. I’m a woman myself, so I wish I’d thought of a better word (just couldn’t think of one last night).
