"Sexism in English" - Allen Pace Nilsen

The author in this essay assumes that Sexist language expresses unfair assumptions about gender differences. Also, she assumes how often English expresses sexist assumptions about differences between men and women. However, after information provided by Nilsen I believe that there’s sexism language in our society where today we are living. Just for the simplest fact that in any language that you perform, develop or speak; it shows your attitude and moral to any person who you are getting communication.

In addition, there’s another interesting aspect about this, as the way we would speak about men is too different than the way that we would speak about a women. Also, Nowadays all that you hear on the TV, radio or even on the streets; it’s all about sexism language. In my opinion, language shows our needs and feelings, our meanings and values in our society, our status of consciousness and reflects culture. In general, language shows our behaviors and beliefs.
