I totally agree. In English we have very few male specific and female specific nouns, which is good in my opinion; it makes things a little less complicated, less segregated. A doctor, a nurse, a hairdresser, a musician, a teacher, a writer... an actor!
I think this trend of using non-gender specific nouns should continue where differentiation isn't necessary... For example waitresses should also be called waiters.
IIN I find it annoying when a singer is referred to as an artist?
