Life's Stresses

LIFE’S STRESSES Day and night the Tower of London is guarded By a guy in a special suit, known as a beefeater. Should an equal-opportunity female suit be for a beefeatress? And a woman skilled at making clothing is a seamstress - Should an equal-oppo man similarly skilled be a seamster?? After all we have a Union of Teamsters, So are female membership cards for teamstresses? Should I start to use the formal form of address By calling my colleague at school a teacheress? Should I not use the old joke about a mistress Being something between a mister and a mattress?
