No, that's why they give it a gender-non-specific name. I don't think
it's a matter of "political correctness;" there are lots of men who
enter and win the canning lots. The young man who won the overall
canning award (I don't know if the name changes each year) last year
kicked butt in the vegetable classes. I had a chance to meet and visit
with him before the newscast we were on last week, and taste his winning
dill pickles. They were out of this world. No garlic.
