I was a tax woman and took the title Inspector of Taxes, which I think is also masculine. Tax man is just the imaginary big bad beast which people like to imagine, in reality, they are just very maligned ordinary men and women with families and mortgages to pay. |

because it's so much more satisfying to call a man a "FRACKIN' BASTARD" |

Will the people who have wrote derogatory comments about Tax Inspectors please reconsider what they are saying.... everyone has to pay tax. Do you honestly think that society would function without these underpaid civil servants?
Think about the hard work they do, dealing with an often aggressive taxpayers who are baying for their blood? I know Tax Inspectors that actually do the job for the benefit of seeing their hard work build new hospitals, fund schools and the police force/fire service.
If you took a walk in their shoes for a day you would see that their work is necesssary and not all that much fun. |

man has two common meanings to educated and intelligent English speakers. An adult male human being or any/all human beings as opposed to any living creature.
The PC tendency, whose motto is 'seek offence that ye may be offended' think otherwise. |

Because The Beatles said it was.
(And isn't it sweet that someone who ISN'T employed by the Government thinks civil servants are underpaid) |
