fisherman/fisherperson - 07-05-2011, 11:25 PM

Hi.
According to the movement of men-and-women-are-created-equally-theory, a "chairman" has now become to be called as a "chairperson."

I know about that. And I think it is the matter of course to call him/her as a "chairperson" instead of a "chairman" now.

Yet, I'm still uneasy to call a fisherman as a "fisherperson".

Is it a quite natural thing for a native-English speaking person to say "fisherperson" now?
