In Denmark the debate occured in the 70'ies. Basically, the
result is:
Any profession that used to have two names now only has one name,
because having two names implies that women are not capable of doing
the same job as men.
Any profession that used to have a single name now has two names,
because having one name implied that the profession was reserved for a
single gender, thus degrading women.
In Norway the debate mostly didn't occur, what happened was that the
professions quietly changed to neuter names. The one remaining problem
is what to do with profession names with 'man' in them (I guess
'ombudsman'
would be one of them).
