sigh...
Your kidding right? What do you want it to say? Rifleperson? Riflewoman? Riflewookie? What about the word woman itself? You want to get rid of that too, and just stick to the word female..oh, wait, that has male in it too..
Hmm, I always thought that the 'man' part just meant person and it was just a part of the english language, not a gender bias.
Riflegirl..pffss...hahahahaha Go on have your title, just leave mine alone.

Rifleman is a genderless term. I truely wish users of the english language would understand this instead of destroying it with all the PC BS. This applies to many, many words that have now become, mostly, extinct. Gendered and non-gendered terms seem to be perfectly fine with other cultures and languages but just seems to piss off the americans because they just don't get it. They are the center of the universe, however, so all hail how impressive their singular hole is.

Yes unfortunately some people in society are ignorant of facts and like to find irrelevant things to cause a commotion about. I guess since we're all human some think that's some sort of insult to women, man is a derived word not the other way around.
man ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mn)
n. pl. men (mn)
1. An adult male human.
2. A human regardless of sex or age; a person.

no offense, but Jean Reno was the 'Cleaner' in Le Femme Nikita... in The Professional he was just a guy with short pants. and in Le Femme Nikita, the Cleaner was a pistol-man.

Alright, but I still want Cleaner or Hitman in the Rifleman tree. We are supposed to be stealthy killers in this line of the tree, right?
