>From Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary:

om-buds-man : n, pl om-buds-men [Swedish, lit., representative,
   fr. "ombud" charge, commission + "man" man] : a government official
   (as in Sweden or New Zealand) appointed to receive and investigate
   complaints made by individuals against abuses or capricious acts of
   public officials.

It's just as sexist as any other -man word.
