    Completely unrelated, but I just noticed that “seamstress” still seems acceptable, despite shifting more toward gender neutral vocational titles. The only other one I can think of was “stewardess” which was changed to “Flight Attendant.”

    Is there a difference between a tailor and a seamstress? Or is the latter just the female version of the former, and therefore an archaic term?
