Women’s Liberation has helped to overcome the word stewardess. Another evil sexist term that has been beaten back by Political Correctness is the word “secretary.” The word is now “Office Assistant.”
“Secretary” is an evil sexist word, invented to humiliate women. Can you imagine being a self-respecting man working in the Pentagon, and having someone refer to you as the mere “Secretary” of defense?
No man has to put up with the label “secretary,” so no woman should either.
Thank God for Liberation!
There is another term that the brilliant and highly inventive leaders of Women’s Liberation came up with.
In the old Pogo cartoon, there was a character called “Miz Beaver.” She was older and married and had a lot of kids, but the “Mrs.” no longer fit, so she was called “Miz” Beaver.
Younger women in the South were called “Miss” or Mrs.” so that men would know whether they were available or not. In the South, older women were routinely called “Miz” regardless of their marital status.
Then the genius of Women’s Liberation came on the scene. Women’s Liberation declared that the division of women into “Miss’ and “Mrs.” was an Evil Plot invented by men. So the geniuses of Women’s Liberation searched for a term to substitute for “Miss” and “Mrs.” After years of research and development, they invented the term “Miz.”
Thank God for Liberation!
