Words / Claim: Both “workmen” and “workwomen” should have the same classification.
« on: Today at 05:28:40 PM »
In recent decades, there has been a push for gender-neutral language. Classifying “workwomen” the same as “workmen” would acknowledge the contributions of women in the workforce.
Rosie the Riveter, an iconic symbol of female empowerment during World War II, exemplifies the idea that women can perform traditionally male roles. Her image reinforces the concept that “workwomen” are not rare but rather integral to the workforce.
By acknowledging both terms should be classified the same, we would promote inclusivity and recognize the evolving nature of language.
By Chihuahua’s rules it its arguable that both terms are now equally known.
In summary, there is no doubt that the unisex term “worker” is and should be classified common. We can reasonably argue that both “workmen” and “workwomen” deserve classification as “common” words but if that is not accepted, I believe both should be classified as rare.
