Language and Sexism
The notion of sexist language or sexism in
language, is as far as I know, relatively
recent. It
appears to have been elaborated within
the feminist movement in the last few
decades.
Language is one of the most powerful means
through which sexism and gender discrimination
are perpetrated and reproduced. The content of
gender stereotypes, according to which women
should display communal warmth traits and
men should display competence traits, is
reflected in the lexical choices of everyday
communication.
