blog #14 Martyna, Wendy. "Beyond the "He/Man" Approach: The Case for Nonsexist Language."

I think eventually our language will change enough to better reflect both sexes but as for now and the near future, not much will be done. I however do not believe there will ever come a time where our language will be completely nonsexist. The reason why I believe this is because the sexists in our language is a direct reflection of our history. To completely make it nonsexist will be to erase our entire history. Our language is a product of thousands of years of speech. Unless we completely come up with a different way to speak our language will always in some small way or form be sexist.
