Jack-Of-All-Trades seems a bit sexist, no?
Can we get a Jill-Of-All-Trades option for us ladies?

In some local slang, that could be badly misinterpreted.
No different than the male version ;)

Hi there
I think "factotum" means the same without any sexist connotation :)
How about "Jack of all trades, master of none" should it become "Jill of all trades, mistress of none" or should it remain "master" as it pertains to mastery?
Just so you know, English is not my first language, so maybe just ignore me...
Talking to myself, talking to myself...
@JohntheFish
I don't get it... (English, not my first language :)
Please explain

I say let's leave the masters and mistresses alone for now ;)
But we won't ignore you, even if English isn't your first language...

Thanks.
I don't know if you remember but we interacted before. You left quite a nice review of my add-on Social Icons reloaded (http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/social-icons-reloaded)
To be honest, at the time, I just assumed you were a guy. I really don't know why. I suppose I'm biased...
You and I should work together one of these days, we would make an interesting duo :)

See, now if my profile said "Jill-Of-All-Trades" you wouldn't assume I was a guy ;)
No worries though, it's all good.

Yeah you're right, it would be better :)
Hmmm
Don't see the problem,
If your content to call yourself a Lady
Perhaps us men should call ourselves Lords!!

It's no problem, just a suggestion.. Lighten up, man ;)
Okay, Thanks.. I will go on a low fat diet..
I don't see anything wrong or sexist with "jack-of-all-trades". I do, however, think it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace that with additional areas of expertise, or just replace it with an option to enter our own custom specialties or something.
Well 2 things here:
I think anchoredButterfly has demonstrated already she is a Lady (notice the capital L) in the best sense.
What's more, a Lord is only defined by the dictionary as "a man of noble rank or high office" (plenty of that around here, of course ;)
Lady, however is also defined as "A woman (used as a polite or old-fashioned form of reference)."
The second thing is that I don't know if you noticed but in all our profiles, the "jack of all trade" is gone and has been replaced with "General Problem Solver" :)
so really we might be all wasted some energy here.
Well except me, I just like talking.
