It is a figure of speech, and in the very literal sense in
this context, when Bharathi was the co-ordinator, he called the role(his
role) "Office-boy", no sexism there. In my opinion, we don't have to be
politically correct here - Technical correctness is sufficient.
Concentrating on Political correctness and the use of gender neutral words,
in a language that is not the first language, can interrupt the flow of
thought for the actual message that is being conveyed. No one wants to
discriminate against anyone in this lug. Thanks.
