"One Look" suggests WOMAN as answer to:
2d. "Cleaning compound for tin soldiers when trapped" ?o?a? but not BORAX
Is this sexist?

Sorry Mamyalynne missed your post.
I used ?o?a?:cleaner since OneLook does not work well with multi word qualifiers.

Oh in that case I can see why you didn't get a result.

Thank you b....
Never seen that sort of answer in OneLook before. Will try multiple qualifiers more often. Have a best Answer.
But Woman is still in the list so is it sexist these days?
