These new attitudes have also helped man, and some job titles have been changed to include them. Stewardesses are now called flight attendants. A launderess is a laundry worker, and a maid is a houseworker, because men wash floors too!
Sometimes the way words have changed seems awkward and silly, such as using chair for chairman, fisher for fisherman, and drafter for draftsman. But change is never easy. People often fight change until it becomes a familiar part of everyday life.
