Bean wonders: CLEAR AS MUD! Which gender?!?!?!?!?!

In standard Germanic grammar compound words take the gender of the last element in the compound. Since man, the English word for human being, irrespective of sex, is grammatically masculine, both sex specific compounds, woman and wapman (no longer used, since it is assumed that to be fully human one must be male) are masculine gender.
