To Mr. Bing
You recently commented that the purpose of art museums is to
"...celebrate the genius of man".  I am sure you meant no disrespect, but
as museum professionals committed to diversity, I feel we should all try
our hardest to eliminate sexist language from even the most casual
correspondence.  I am not nit-picking or becoming mired in semantics, I
honestly feel that words do matter, and what you call something has a
physical and mental imapact on the listening audience.  Thank you.
