I think I remember those times. Personally, I think it's stupid. A Hunter is someone who hunts, either a man or a woman. It's gender neutral and more generalized.

Huntsman and Huntress however, are specifically a man and a woman respectively. And apparently, there's no middle ground. I feel it's like saying "They can't be considered the same thing, even if they do the same things and have the same job".

I can understand their use if refering to a specific person and their specific gender....but not in a case like this. The word "Hunter" should be used, at least when refering to Hunters in general, to the profession.
