I have been known to get into arguments about this sort of label. My argument is that it is not sexist seems to be backed by Linda Greenlaw (made famous in the movie The Perfect Storm) who is called by many "the best fisherman", and on her website, describes herself "Between her three New York Times bestsellers and her role in the Discovery Channel's current hit series Swords, Linda Greenlaw has undoubtedly become America's best-known fisherman."
I don't win many over with this argument, but I think there are better places to spend our energy in not making women and girls feel uncomfortable in this profession. We as an industry are doing a terrible job.
And I think that "developer" is a good label in any case.
