Feminist sociolinguists(社会语言学家),over the course of the last
few decades,have conducted studies that they believe support the
conclusion that women are routinely discriminated against in
Endlish-speaking point to the words used to describe
women,as well as the words used to describe society as a whole,as
indications that the English language ,and therefore the English-speaking
culture,is slanted towards the advantage of males.

The words used to describe women are used as instrument by feminist
sociolinguists to denote an inherent sexism in the English
pairs such as master and mistress and sir and madam,they claim ,epitomize
such of the words in question once held positive connotations
but,while the masculine (男性的)forms have retained their respectable
associations,the feminine forms have undergone pejoration and now imply
sexual promiscuity(混杂) and other negative st
researchers assume that such pejoration indicate that the status of women
in English- speaking society is relatively low.

These researchers also find fault with the use of masculine words to
describe unisex entities .For example ,they feel that there is nothing
inherently mainly about mankind, the best man for the job,or the common
rly,the use of such constructions as the “the average students
is worried about his grades” indicate to these researchers an inherent
sexism in English that is reflective of the cultures in which they are
produced .

Carolyn Jacobson ,author of Non-sexist Language has proposed a
solution to this conundrum(难题).She advocates the elimination of all
sexed words in favor of gender-neutral longer should we refer
to actors and actresses or waiters and waitresses, as such dichotomies(男
女有别) allow for the possibility of negative connotations being
associated with the feminine se,she believes that
phrases such as mankind should give way to human kind and that the use
of the masculine pronoun as the default should be abandoned in favor of
neutral , when sexism is eliminated from the English
language ,the culture will be more amenable to he deliverance of women
as well .
