Examples Gendered Language

We have grown up in a world with beliefs of Gender stereotypes. Where men and women have different social roles. Men are perceived as independent, active, and resolute. Whereas women are expected to be a benevolent, caretaker, and to be communal. When it comes to language it is a powerful means that reproduce and perpetuate sexism and gender discrimination. The origin of Gender Bias is found in our linguistic choices. If you think of language just as a means of communication, you are terribly wrong. The role of language is much more than that. It influences the way we see the world. Language shapes us in different ways. Language use in our everyday communication makes us aware of how our societies are inherently gendered and what gendered languages are.
