TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Maybe it's just me, but I notice nobody has objected to the *title* of this
discussion (Male/Female thread), though it perpetuates the issues it's
purporting to resolve.
FWIW, they are terms that are used in the screw industry, which the
politically correct may prefer to call the fastener industry.
