  • "I've got a linguistic bone to pick with using the word "women" as an adjective– as in, "women journalists," "women bloggers." Whenever you do that, you are stating that the default gender for that job is male, and you need to add a qualifier before it to make it female. Can we all now, together, say that "women" should only be a noun? I know the dictionary has an adjective entry for it, but sometimes dictionaries are stupid."
