I hate seeing "women/woman" censored as if it's a dirty word. In old English, women were referred to as women and men were referred to as weremen (like werewolf). "Men" referred to a mixed group of men and women. (We should go back.) Linguistically, censoring the "men" part of women is removing their humanity.

Honestly, that sounds awesome. Can we go back to that?
