    So if "Homocide" has no gender then neither does "chairman" and this is my point.

    I am not the one equivocating here.
    The 'Homo' prefix is greek and it means same. So Homosexual means Same-sexual.
    Homicide means the the killing of one human by another. The homi/homo meaning we are from the same species.

    Man means Man/Male. So Chairman, Fireman, Policeman, etc are roles of a male. Chair, Firefighter, Police Officer, etc are gender-neutral in the role, as the person being ascribed is not directly assumed as being a male.
