- <p> WHAT'S ANOTHER WORD FOR SEXIST? As a vigilant guardian of
- feminist orthodoxy, the Coalition of Labor Union Women has
- released its eagerly awaited Hits and Ms.s awards for 1990.
- Among the top transgressors: Apple Computer. One of the firm's
- software programs has a thesaurus that offers only a few
- synonyms for woman, including "female partner in marriage,
- wife, lady and Mrs." But when it comes to the entry for man,
- the list runs on and on: "member of the human race, human
- being, body, creature, individual, life, mortal, party, person,
- soul, mankind, flesh, humanity, humankind..." What? No
- "higher animal"?
