In bat, on bat, at bat, batting, the person batting, doesn't matter to me, batsperson is just silly.

Surely no woman with any amount of self confidence should be concerned about using 'man', 'woman', 'person', etc. but that does seem to be the nature of our current society. Someone is always upset (or even devastated) about something, no matter how trivial. If I am the head of the board of directors of my billion dollar company, call me whatever you like.....Madam Chairman sounds just fine to me! lol

If they are going to change that maybe they should insist on the girls wearing a "Box" as well.After all, we are talking about equality aren't we?

Have a look at the tennis Tom, the women want the same money as the men,but the women only play 3 sets,and the men play 5 sets,and they want the same money..how is that equality..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

Tommyh

Well,They'll just hafta play 5 won't they? They're more 'Entertaining' than the blokes anyway and none of them is a complete a*****e like a certain young man of Greek heritage whom I won't name.

Well while she's making a fuss about that, she's not walking around London, trying to stop the democratic process of Brexit, or trying to stop The Donald coming here.

I don't think you got the point of my answer JH. What I'm saying is that both in the USA and England, men and women are trying to stop the process of democracy , because they don't agree with the outcome of our referendum on the EU, and your Presidential election. The fact that the person making a fuss about her politically correct attitude towards how a women playing cricket should be addressed is just that, politically correct lefty liberal crap.

This person, that person, it's silly to me. I think the referral would depend on the sex of the receiver. "Man" itself covers a lot of territory but times, they are a changing.
