Discussion question response 15

Maybe it is just the English teachers that I got but it always seemed that they all had some sort of vendetta against the English language’s sexism. And being stupid and stubborn I always argued with them. I am not saying that the English languages lacks sexism all together but you have to taken in when the language was “created”. Women only recently have been pushing for more rights and men have been free to do whatever they like with the English language. But my opinion is that it really doesn’t matter it gives the language character. As for using in a speech I think that you should judge based on your audience and err on the side of caution.
