How do you want to be known?
Our language has evolved and changed to try and become more gender neutral and ‘politically correct’. For example, policeman to police officer, fireman to firefighter, and now fisherman to fisher. Since the beginning of time the word fisherman has been used to describe a person who catches fish and other animals from a body of water. Thanks largely to the American, NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) who coined the gender-neutral term in the first place many years ago - increasingly, NGOs and others in Europe have adopted the term and use it in their publications and websites - but how do the people who actually catch fish for a living feel about how they are referred to?
