Pedantic, sure.

“Spinster and bachelor, for example, designate an unmarried adult but when this word is marked for males it is positive while when it is marked for females it is negative.”

Twas a coincidence that I turned to this after reading a Le Guin novel. It’s getting technical, looking at sexism in language, overtones, just getting going w/this.
