Summary: 


   Great stuff.  Now I find out that there are people offended by the term
'woman'.  *However*, there *still* is a fool-proof method of not offending
anyone.

    The term 'female', while clinical, *surely* can't offend anyone,
can it?  It might garner a few odd looks when used colloquilly, but
it won't offend anyone.

    Of course, terms like Female's Liberation Movement might take a little
getting used to...   :-)
