Dear Teakdoor Agony Aunt
I was just reading an article in the very-PC Guardian newspaper about Jane Birkin, who has recently had a stroke. The headline 'Actor doing well after stroke' confused the hell out of me.
Is the word 'actress' now not PC?
What about waitress, hostess, headmistress? Surely by 'cancelling' these words, this discriminates against 'someone'? Can't I call myself a headmistress, even though I'm male?
