 For example, the words "policeman" and "stewardess" are gender-specific job titles; the corresponding gender-neutral terms are "police officer" and "flight attendant".Other gender-specific terms, such as "actor" and "actress", may be replaced by the originally male term; for example, "actor" used regardless of gender.Some terms, such as "chairman", that contain the component "-man" but have traditionally been used to refer to persons regardless of sex are now seen by some as gender-specific.
