Check out the term Seaman.. in British and Canadian Merchant Navy Discharge Books it states Seaman he/she etc....Since the term woman or man = of the family of man/mankind, it is considered inclusive, essentially gender neutral.
Winston Churhill stated that therefore Man embraces Woman, which is a wonderful way of expressing that thought by a play on words. ;-)
Yours, Aye. Dave
