Good for them I guess? What a weird title, either say 'women' or 'programmers', the use of the phrase 'women programmers' makes it seem like some sort of alien

Good for them I guess? What a weird title, either say 'women' or 'programmers', the use of the phrase 'women programmers' makes it seem like some sort of alien concept.
- asark 7y agoIt's become a common construction, but it bugs me too. You'd never say "men nurses", for instance. Makes it sound like nurses who specialize in working with men, not necessarily nurses who are men. It's awkward but it's sticking around, unfortunately. [EDIT] more relevantly, "women doctors" definitely reads like an old-timey euphemism for gynecologists.
