Judging Amy - an American TV programme - is shown here dubbed into Spanish & the title is La Juez Amy.
Also at some point APA (Asociación de Padres de Alumnos) became AMPA (Asociación de Madres y Padres de Alumnos). I don't know if this was a nod to PC, or if it was because there were usually more madres than padres on the commitees |

If I were a woman judge, I'd try to be "la mejor entre todos los jueces", instead of "la mejor de las juezas". I think the first phrase is more general, than the second one, and I don't Know what kind of logic uses the feminist movement to foster the use of both gendres in every phrase.

No lo entiendo por qué unas personas quisieran que nosotros lo escribamos así. Me parece que nadie no tiene las intentiones de menospeciar a las mujeres por escribir "los padres , etc." Siempre se necesita a fabricar problemas no necesarias para molestarnos .

Except in this case - because just saying padres could be understood as fathers, and excludes mothers! |

After all "las palomas" also includes palomos. Same thing with "Padres" that includes "Madres". |

Feminism aside, "la juez" or "la jueza" both sound good to me as natural refinements in a living language.
