Do you realize that? I was sitting in Winter Warmers for lunch with ma sis, and then it hit me that, language is sexist! Being a student of English language and Literature her self, she admits that it's very true.

Ok. I may know little about this, and my example might seem shallow, but bare with me as i have a point to make. :p

Have you noticed that many labels ends with 'man'? Example, fireman..policeman? Maybe long time ago, no women were them, but the generations have changed. Why cant the language evolve too? Ma sis said that most of them now prefer to address it as "fire fighter" or "police officers" to generic the title.

Another good example, "bitch", "slut" and many many more. Why are curses revolve around women? "Mother f....". Why?? Why cant it be "Father f..."? Why are there no terms for guys as bitches or sluts? Is it because it is ok for them to do what so ever they want, but if women do it they are being labeled such way? Come on...thats just not fair!

We are in a very modern age now. We either should DROP all the name calling or equalized it by creating specific ones for guys too! hahahahaha
