Is the security man definition considered to be sexist language?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Some people consider the inclusion of the word "man" into any job title to be sexist, as a woman might fill the job. However, other people would not find it sexist provided that a woman actually has as good a chance of being hired as a security man as a man does. It depends whether you are more interested in sexism as a perceived linguistic phenomenon ("perceived", since some such objections are based on flawed etymology or linguistic analysis), or as a real social phenomenon.

Is English a sexist language?
English can be considered a sexist language because it has words and structures that can reinforce gender stereotypes and inequalities. This includes the use of gender-specific job titles (e.g. "stewardess" vs. "flight attendant") or the default use of masculine pronouns when the gender of a person is unknown. Efforts are being made to create gender-neutral language alternatives to address these issues.
