Grammar Question 12 Years, 3 Months ago  
Why do the media these days use 'woman' to describe a woman while they continue to use 'male' to describe a man? One wouldn't say 'man Prime Minister,' one would say 'male Prime Minister,' but they are all now saying 'woman Prime Minister' instead of 'female Prime Minister'. Why?

BBC News reads this board; they just described her as Britain's first FEMALE PM!

I can just about live with "Haitch" but I want to thump people who say "brought" instead of "bought"
