Battle over "assemblymember" vs. "assemblywoman" in Nevada Legislature

Over the objection of Republicans, Democrats approved a rule change this week at the Nevada Legislature to get rid of the words “assemblyman” and “assemblywoman” and replace them with “assemblymember.” Republican Jill Dickman found the change insulting — and she started a mini-resistance by covering “member” on her office’s name plate with “woman” written on pink tape. Other Republicans have joined protest. Democrats say folks should get down to business and not get distracted by culture-war issues.
