5. How can language be gender-biased?
How does language reinforce stereotypes or culturally received ideas about what different genders do, and don't do, think and don't think?
Does language reflect our world, or does it create it? Is English really a non-sexist language because it has no masculine and feminine forms?
Is there a difference in the way men and women use language to achieve the same things? What are things that men can get away with saying but women can't (or vice-versa)?
