TIME TO PONDER

Take the issue of grandfather clocks. When you think about it, how can something made of wood, metal, and, perhaps, plastic, be considered anything other than gender-neutral? I mean, clocks of any kind can’t be deemed male or female, can they? That makes them gender-neutral, right? 
The dictionary defines gender-neutral as “a word or expression that cannot be taken to refer to one gender only.” A good example of this is police officer instead of policeman.
Therefore, with this logic in mind, there shouldn’t be such thing as a grandfather clock. From now on, it should be called a grandperson clock. Is that politically correct? Just for the record, what is the definition of politically correct now? 
Times, they are a-changin’, but which way are they going?
