Ok, I have to be alittle more thouruough! hehe
OK Human being= människa
Man= man
Woman= kvinna
I alsoo forgot that we now also in sometimes add different endings like they do in german, like chairman, if that person is a woman it would be chairwoman.
This seems to be the best way to deal with it. I IMHO think this. To just use person is so genderless and so.. booring =)
I think that both sexes should be able to be proud of their sex and not be questioned about it. Use person if you call for someone unknown to you, that is great. personalcontact though use the right ending. If people read in their own values of a person due to woman or man it is their own shortcomming that is seen not anything else.
OK, I wont go babbling here Moridin !
hehe..
2. Well as you might have noticed we have something of a debate and usually you can get away with the masculine term or a neutral term.
