Gendered expressions
Without you might not being aware of it, the perception that there is a difference between men’s and women’s relations, sports activities, hobbies, or entrepreneurships is strengthened. By using words like boys’ club, girls’ night, women’s football, girl band, and men’s dinner party as well as expressions like “female entrepreneurship” for example.
Female football players or football players?
Discuss
For example:
- “Bring the boys to hockey, we are serving burgers and beer!”
- “Female entrepreneurship showcased on its own trade fair.”
- “The men who lead the way in the reorganisation.”
What happens with communication if we avoid expressions that include boys, girls, ladies, and gentlemen? Is it important to avoid this kind of expression?
