Men and Women
In my country, Japan we call nurse "Kango-hu" in Japanese, and we write it like"看護(Kango)婦(hu)"in Japanese. "看護"means nursing, and "婦"means woman, lady or wife. Therefore, "看護婦" means nursing-woman, But now there are a lot of nurse of man not only Japan but also other countries. In old days, there are only nurse of woman or few nurse of man. Nowadays, custom was changed so we have to change the way to call nurse. Then in Japan, nurse's formal name is "看護(kango)師(shi)". "師"means the person who has a special licence. So it dosen't involved in gender! By the way, there are a few women in politics in Japan. But it is not only Japan but also other countries. There are 196countries in the world, but there are only 4 women president in the world.
