mildly feminist semi-rant

LAVAL, Que. -- Heavily armed tactical teams surrounded an apartment block north of Montreal on Wednesday after a female police officer was shot. Full story at canada.com.

Why the qualifiers? I never see ‘a male police officer was shot’. It would just be ‘a police officer’. That kind of stuff annoys me. Do it for both sexes or neither of them. Ugh.
