	However, a cowgirl (as used where I grew up in Cal and Ore)
	is NOT! a female cowboy.  A cowgirl is a girl who dresses up
	in a fancy denim skirt, dances the two-step, bows low to her
	man, and is a nice decoration at rodeos.  A cowboy is a rodeo
	participant, a beer drinker, a master horse handler, and all
	around macho man.  So to use cowgirl/cowboy as an example of
	designations of equals bu sex is not to my understanding.  I
	think "ranch-hands" is the word you were looking for.
