Presidentrix

Dear whiner, maybe you should get a REAL newsreader. melissa, presidentrix of lesbians-4-jesus news softwear,^([sic]) inc [it's still april 1 west of here]

Now diminutives do bug me, but many of the gender-specificity comes equally from the female side -- I know of at least two female editors to whom I've sent work who are very specific about calling themselves "Editrix" instead of "Editor". I have a female friend whom I call a "poet" but who's corrects me repeatedly. I think what we should do is ban diminutives. Else we will one day have a Presidentrix of the United States.

I never said that they did, either. You are dreaming. In any case, I follow the lead of the next presidentrix, Hillary.

Stick around and I'll let you know if I get a letter from Presidentrix Hillary Clinton, who wil^([sic]) probably be serving her second term then. Hmmm ... I thought I was coining a word, but Google has fourteen hits on "presidentrix" and Dejagoogle has nine. Once the fad catches on, we will probably have two or three presidentrices in the next thirty years.
