Cambridge Dictionary changes definition of 'man' and 'woman': '1984 wasn't supposed to be a how-to manual'
Cambridge Dictionary is under fire for altering the definition of "man" and "woman" to encompass transgender people. Critics argue it erodes truth and elevates far-feft social values.
How it should be is "female" is an adjective and "woman" is a noun (outside science).
"Female programmer" sounds theoretically possible, where "woman programmer" sounds wrong.
"Busty woman" sounds attractive, where "busty female" sounds weirdo.
The reason is because in English "adjective noun" and "noun of adjective" are mostly synonymous, like Department of War and War Department; "women programmers" are "programmers of women".
