I've noticed that too. And yes, it's silly and annoying. But then I 'm also annoyed by anything xxx-person when xxx-man is a perfectly fine and non-sexist expression. The suffix "man" is usually derived from the Latin for hand and has nothing to do with gender. For words where it traces back to the Old English word for person there is also no gender connotation. So I tend to boil at most xxx-person or xxx-woman words.
