It is "politically correct" version of a real word: man-hole cover. A man-hole is an opening in the street designed to admit a person into the infrastructure below. The usage is not sexist, since "man" properly denotes a human being (as in wo-man) and not necessarily an adult male human.

What is another word for the posititon of directoress?

Yes, the word is "director." The word "directoress" is the invention of the politically correct crowd and their apparent need to create a feminine version of all things. I suppose mankind should be referred to as "personkind" and manhole should be "personhole" and chairman should be "chairwoman." Let me as a professional writer give you a hint: Words such as "director" "mankind" and even "director" are NOT gender specific. Hope this helps. bjg
