German has a unique problem: the default noun for any job is male. Every effort to include the female or neutral form is fought tooth and nail by conservative parties. So when a mayor was forced to remove the mention of both genders in the statute for firefighters.... he kept just the female form of every job title 😈
"That's not what we meant!" the city council is now crying. "Not every person is female, after all!" they lament without noticing the irony.
