I have a few comments on the commentary published on December 26, “Reflections on Fair Speech.”
This part was just offensive: ”The Committee recommends that the word ‘housewife’ not be used. Instead, say ‘homemaker.’ This may well be nicer, but there are no men ‘homemakers.’ Have we queried them? Men ‘work from home’; they are ‘semi-retired’; they are ‘working on their learned treatise.’ They are never ‘homemakers,’ who change diapers and run to the market.”
