- Summary:
-
In this discussion of various aspects of sexism in language the following principles or basic ideas are set forth for the reader's consideration: (1) the irrational and undesirable idea that male terms stand for the whole population is harmful and the practice should be eliminated; (2) language which suggests that women are, by virtue of their sex, either better or worse than men should be eliminated; (3) we should strive to have a language by the people, for the people, and of the people; (4) we should make an effort to address people in a way which will give them satisfaction; (5) occupational titles should not carry any suggestion of the sex of the worker; (6) laws need to be accurately written with regard to implication of sex through language.
