BLOG #12 Cameron, Deborah. Chp. 6: "Making Changes: The Debate on Sexist Language."

I agree with Deborah in that we unconciously make these sexist remarks and that just because we unconciously do it doesn't mean it is okay. I think until we as a people become more educated on this issue it'll be kept under radar and only the few that care enough to do some digging will notice. I'm positive many Americans and people from other nations don't even notice how sexist our language is. Everyone has been taught to speak this way so unless you carefully disect word for word it's pretty hard to see how sexist our speech can be at times.
