Chapter 6 discusses, under A Few More Words, a number of suffixes ( -trix, -ess , etc.) and words ( hero/ heroine, alumnus/alumna/alumni/alumnae , etc.) that apparently offend the  they campaign for the elimination of la diff??rence .  My own attitude is that I find such terms not in the least  Why should a woman object to being called a heroine, a divorc??e, or an actress any more than being called a female or a woman?
