I only thought of that because I was recently asked if we should say 'Fifty woman teachers' or 'Fifty women teachers.

I told them 'Fifty female teachers' would be a better choice. :)

Compound nouns with people normally use the plural with men and women, but the singular with lady.

Drunks in bars are unlikely to make disparaging remarks about 'female drivers'.
