Perceived Sexist Prejudice

Should the title of this article be moved to Landperson, or some such? I know that Landlord is used in much of the English-speaking world, but it does reinforce the male patriarchy by using the masculine LORD in the title, implying that managing land is a man's domain. I know that naming conventions on the Wikipedia are to use the most 'popular' or 'widely used' term, but I don't think that upholding archaic notions of male superiority is what this project strives for. I vote that we move this article to Landperson or a similar name.Peter Napkin Dance Party (talk) 01:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

does anyone use the term landperson? 98.206.155.53 (talk) 06:39, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Never heard landperson either. However agree with the article opened with the definition of a landlord as a "male owner", which is ridiculous. Have changed this simply to "Owner", as the word is used to define lessors of either gender. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.70.128.2 (talk) 20:43, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
