Gender+Neutral+Language

Gender-neutral language can be defined linguistic prescriptivism that aims to remove any reference to gender in terms that describe people. The use of gender-neutral language aims to minimize assumptions that could be made about the gender (biological sex) of people referred to in speech. This topic is strongly argued by feminists who believe that many English words have been assigned masculine qualities to generic antecedents, which leads to the discussion of prejudices of our society. Although the English language has evolved, feminists argue that through out its history the development of our language has been centered around words that are associated to men.
