My PC has gone PC!

Now THIS has gone too far!

	I'm editing some text for the brochure for our medical device the other
day (we make a device that helps to detect early risk of osteoporosis).  One of
the last lines says something like,
	These factors will allow the doctor to better target women who are at 
	risk for osteoporosis.

Sometimes, when I'm stuck for ideas, I'll run the document through the
grammar checker, just to stand a few sentences on their heads and get rid
of some passive voice stuff.  Well, my grammar checker hit this last
sentence, highlighted "women" and promptly informed me:

	Gender-specific term.  Consider replacing with people, individuals,
	or human-beings.

Umm........no.
