	Sexism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sexist beliefs are a species of essentialism, which holds that individuals can be understood (and often judged) based on the characteristics of the group to which they belong—in this case, their sex group (male or female).
		It has been argued that language plays a part in sexism, though it is disputed whether certain language causes sexism or sexism causes certain language (see the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis).
		At the most trivial level, sexist jokes play a part in the acts of many comedians, both male and female.

	Sexist Language 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The results of the survey were based on whether or not they detected sexist language in their reading and if so was there a gender difference when it came to noticing it.
		Sexist language is a relatively new and under-researched area of discussion (Grossman and Tucker, 1997).
		According to the Law Society Journal (1995), sexist language should be avoided because when it is not avoided the writer or speaker may be assuming that their audience is predominantly male.

	Sexist Language
		The theory of "sexist language," however, is no credit to feminism, for it is deeply flawed both in its understanding of the nature of language and in its understanding of how languages change over time.
		Since the ideology that there is "sexist language" seeks, indeed, to change linguistic usage as part of the attempt to change society and forms of thought, the latter is particularly significant.
		First of all, the theory of "sexist language" seems to say that words cannot have more than one meaning: if "man" and "he" in some usage mean males, then they cannot mean both males and females in other usage.

	Gender-neutral language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, many terms advocated or proposed by advocates of gender-neutral language, such as firefighter or he or she, have entered the common lexicon (in some cases, before advocacy of gender-neutral language began), and may be used by those who do not have any particular feeling about the subject.
		A very small minority of opponents accepts the validity of the argument that traditional English is sexist, but does not think that this is a bad thing, as they themselves are sexist.
		Viewed in this broader context, argue the Esperantists, "sexist language" is shown to be a matter of cultural assumptions and interpretations by the speakers, not of the language per se.

	Sex Roles: A Journal of Research: The enjoyment of sexist humor, rape attitudes, and relationship aggression in college ...
		However, because all of the research is correlational, we cannot be sure whether sexist and rape-supportive attitudes predict sexual aggression or whether the use of sexual aggression promotes sexist and rape-supportive attitudes.
		Thus, the enjoyment of sexist humor appears to be associated with gender and attitudes toward women.
		The current study explored whether the enjoyment of sexist humor is associated with aggressive attitudes and behavior in college men.

	Language Log: Gift ideas for hir and hir
		Objectionable sexist word forms (especially pronouns, nouns, and the possessive adjectives his and her) have plagued the English language for generations [...] writers have used such phrases as "him or her," "her or his," or the awkward "their" in largely isolated attempts to avoid the problem of objectionable sexist language.
		All occurrences of "him" or "her" in English language composition are sexist, of course, but not all sexist occurrences are objectionable.
		If "the sexist word HIM" and "the sexist word HER" don't refer to any particular being at all in this context, is it true or false that "the gender of the being referred to...

		Another way to erase sexist language is to substitute a noun subject instead of a pronoun.
		Some terms are inherently sexist, such as "mankind" and "policeman." These terms ignore the female gender in categories that should include both men and women.
		If none of these suggestions lend themselves to the sentence you're working on, your best bet is to recast the entire sentence; write the sentence in a completely different way instead of trying to change bits and pieces of it.

	Sexist Publicity
		Sexist advertising is a hot topic in some other countries.
		In the United States, the DisGraceful Award, which targets "sexist ads in the high-tech industry", has been scoring direct hits against the new economy's old-style sexist ads.
		Advertisers resisted the criticisms because, as Betty Friedan said, the ads glorified women's role as housewives, "knowing that her very lack of identity in that role will make her fall for whatever they are selling".

	Guidelines For Non-Sexist Use of Language
		Some empirical data on sexist language indicate that if women are not specifically included (e.g., through using females in examples, or the term "he or she"), even genuinely gender-neutral prose (e.g., using plural pronouns) tends to be heard as referring to males only.
		Switching 'her' and 'his' in the preferred alternative results in a sentence as sexist as the original.).
		Topics include: the definition of sexism and sexist language; the moral significance of using sexist language; the generic 'he' and 'man'; 'Ms.'; a comparison of sexist and racist language.

		It was a sexist principle encoded in the language by males and which today exerts a considerable influence over thought and reality by preserving the categories of male and minus male.
		The early feminist criticism of male terms considers that sexist language is a symptom of a larger problem.
		However, the initial criticism of sexist language does not maintain that male terms are the cause of these problems.

		Calling this type of language "non-sexist language" is a loaded term, as it implies that failure to use this type of language is automatically sexist.
		Some people disagree with feminism and argue that men and women are sufficiently different that these differences are rightly embedded in the language.
		Many modern speakers do not do this, seeing it as sexist; they use, for example, amiko to mean a friend of either sex, only specifying the sex if it is relevant, using -in for female and the prefix vir- (or, in one proposal, the suffix -iĉ-) for male.

		While publishers may be “acutely aware of sexist language” and, in many cases, have developed their own in-house guidelines for avoiding such language, authors and publishers of business writing textbooks, on the whole, are not providing comprehensive instruction for avoiding sexist language.
		Only seven of the fourteen texts mention sexist language in the end-of-chapter problems, ranging from a few discussion questions to a limited number of sentences or memos that students are asked to rewrite to eliminate sexist language.
		Teachers and other professionals must be alert to the possible sexist implications of the content as well as the language of educational material.

	Depicting Women as Sex Objects In Television Advertising: Effects On Body Dissatisfaction
		Social scientists are suggesting that although television ads are generally made to promote specific items, they may have a lasting effect on several things, such as people’s beliefs, values, attitudes and even their behavior.
		The first group viewed 15 sexist ads and 5 non-sexist ads (sexist ad condition), the second group viewed 20 non-sexist ads (non-sexist ad condition), and the third group completed a body image and attitude scale but were not shown any ads (“no ad control” situation).
		Effects of exposure to sexist ads on body image) results were the same across the board for the nonsexist and no ad control situations on the body image as a function of ad type, gender, and favorable or opposed attitudes toward feminism.

	SEXUAL AND SEXIST HUMOR IN THE WORKPLACE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The proposed study is an attempt to partially fill the apparent gap in the literature by presenting and testing an integrative and situational model of gender-related humor in the workplace.
		The extent to which one finds humor in the material, views it as offensive and/or inappropriate, and considers it as sexual harassment (maybe even to the point of filing a formal complaint) will be the primary focus of the project.
		It is reasonable to expect that not only would men and women find varying degrees of humor in different types of jokes, but also the gender of the joker would make a difference as to whether the listener finds humor in a joke.
