What views do you have that are probably sexist that you believe are true?

I was told off at work for using the term "manpower" as it is inherently sexist.
Apparently I should have used the term "peoplepower" (note, not "personpower" as this is also inherently sexist - "per SON" not "daughter").

The woman who ticked me off quickly followed the comment by remarking to a colleague that men are such divs.

Person isn't a masculine word!
It means human being, from persone in the Old French and formerly persona from the Latin.

Silly moo.
