[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Women are less likely to become CEOs than men. Isn't it important to be able for us to communicate what we mean by "women" and what we mean by "men" in that case? Although I suppose if we conveniently say that "women" are no longer a category that can exist because it's just too inexact, we no longer have to worry about centuries of abuse and oppression and we have one fewer minority group. Hey, why don't we do that for ALL groups that have been oppressed and disadvantaged?[/quote] Generally it's not relevant whether (for example) a woman has a uterus or not. You don't CEO with your uterus, or do science with your uterus. In cases where uterus-having is relevant, I'm fine with something like "people who have a uterus" or "uterus-havers" -- or even "women who have a uterus", although that would exclude men (i.e., transmen) who have a uterus.
