You know what? This would not sound nearly as sexist if you were using one
of the many men in the world with this title as your example. Like ANY of
the other male cabinet secretaries...or the Secretary General of the UN for
example. You may not think so, but your very thinking is also a relic of
the 60's.
There was a position title reported a few years back in D.C. that went
something like "Administrative assistant to the Assisant Administrator of
the office of Executive Administion"

Check any bank roster of executives and count up the number of vice
presidents...hell...check the Red Sox front office job titles. When
companies want to avoid giving big raises, they get creative with titles.
