Bishops: M or F?
What really irks me regarding the debate about whether women may become Bishops of the Church of England is the term "women bishops". As far as I am aware, nobody speaks of men bishops or men vicars. Why don't people use the adjective "female"?

True - but I would say the female/woman bit should be dropped. Do we have female/women judges? I think not......
It's all to do with(sem)antics,WW.
Lady bishops ?
Do we have lady judges, KL?
LOL ED
That is a much better term, Angus. I still think of "ladyboys" though...
In court she would be referred to as " My Lady" and her official title is "Lady ( or Mrs, whether married or NOT)Justice xyz..
Thank you, KL
