They point to the wo

40、rds used to describe women, as well as the words used to describe society as a whole, as indications that the English language and therefore the English- speaking culture, is slanted towards the advantage of males.The words used to describe women are used as an instrument by feminist sociolinguists

Likewise, she believes that phrases such as mankind should give way to human kind and that the use of the masculine pronoun as the default should be abandoned in favor of neutral constructions. Thus, when sexism is eliminated from the English language, the culture will be more amenable to the deliverance of women as well.（分数：10.00）(1).The primary purpose of this passage is to _.（分数：2.00）A.compare and contrast ideology in various culturesB.prove a com
