Tell them you're not an asexual moron with a predisposition to kiss ass.
Better yet, tell them if you cannot be refered to as a draughtsman in your email signature, then you will quite happily change it to 'CADmonkey' or perhaps 'Mushroom' (kept in the dark, fed on ****).
One of my colleagues refers to herself as a draughtsman (draughtswoman on the internal telephone list).
From one Draughtsman to another; don't let the bastards grind you down with their weakness.
Can't see anywhere that this is 'the law' indeed the only place I might expect to find this sort of thing is when you work for the council - then you have to please everybody at the expense of everybody. Damn apologists.
