Indira Fernandez: "Sexism in English"

I liked this reading because as the author states in the reading, linguistic sexism is a social issue in today's society. I believe that these days we find sexism in the language of marriage, and even in children's books. It is common today in public discussion, whether it is academic, political, or even legal, to take it for granted that using the word "man," to refer to all of humanity, or using the pronoun "he" with any person, male or female, in order to engage in a sexist language, a language that embodies, affirms, or reinforces discrimination against women or the patriarchal subordination of women to men.
