Elton's view solves the problem, yet shows respect for all sides. I don't know why people think they need to redefine a term that has meant something specific for thousands of years.

Soon we'll have to drop "Boy Scouts" and "Girl Scouts", combine boys and girls into one group, and simply call them "scouts" because anything less will be deemed politically incorrect and discriminatory. Puke.
