> changed the word "surgeon" to "nurse" But that's not surprising at all, is it? The verb "to nurse" means "to breastfeed", and it's damn near impossible to associate a man with that word. It may be a bad word to describe a profession, but this particular association is really explained by the other meanings of the word. My native tongue is German. We call a nurse "Krankenschwester", literally sick-people-sister. The male equivalent "Krankenbruder" doesn't exist. This badly chosen name makes it even harder to think of a nurse as male.
