Oh my gosh a gender change

[gfiedel]

When I wasn't looking, I became a "Journeyman". Hooray for me, but I kinda liked being female. ;o)

Is there such a thing as a Journeywoman?

(couldn't resist- please excuse me if anyone objects to completely inappropriate "questions")

Well according to here the definition of Journeyman

An experienced and competent but undistinguished worker.

Wourneyman maybe?

[ditoroin]

What if there was JourneyMan and JourneyWoman and depending the provided gender in your profile it would change?

Of course SEOMoz should add such field first in the profile

I think SEOmoz needs to make it possible to give more than one thumbs up.

[gfiedel]

I like those! They each work for me.

How about JourniZen?

That's a really valid point, Chris. There could be some messes to clean up with that kind of imprecise assignment. And who knows, there could be some PC, gender harassment kind of stuff attached to it also. While we're on the subject, there may be some terms that aren't gender specific at all like Voyager but that just doesn't describe it like Journeyman does.

[Chris.Menke]

It should be "Journeyperson" if we're going down that road.  Otherwise, SEOmoz would be in the position of having to assign a gender bias based on only an name and a picture.  I don't think that's enough these days.

Oh whew, Keri! In the meantime, I won't look down.

Hi Gina,

We know it's not the best term, and we're actually going to have some updates with new terminology coming soon. Hang in there, you'll be back to your old self soon!
