No, I was responding to your dislike of the masculinization of language. If that bothers some people (which is fair) then we should strive to homogenize language. I simply didn't think that you pointing out that because some words have a masculine lineage that others should get a free pass.
Don't try to make this something big, I just idly said that the way the word is used bothers me. I'm not up in arms and really irritated, just that I find the usage curious a lot of the time.
Your counterpoint was along the lines of "so what, look at all these other things we have to put up with" which I find unproductive. Both could be better.
