Gender sensitization refers to theories which claim that modification of the behavior of teachers and parents (etc.) towards children can have a causal effect on gender equality.

Gender sensitizing "is about changing behavior and instilling empathy into the views that we hold about our own and the other sex." It helps people in "examining their personal attitudes and beliefs and questioning the 'realities' they thought they know.

English is a naturally sexist language. Words like Chairman, manhole, waiter etc. The Chairman is now known as Chairperson so not to offend a lady who might actually be in charge. So, to use a word like Chairperson instead of Chairman is to be sensitive to the other sex: ie Gender Sensitive.

It goes further, though; Gender Sensitive could also mean you refrain from telling jokes at the expense of the the opposite gender. If you had to say: "Women need men like goldfish need electric Guitars," that would be offensive to a man and thus you would not be gender sensitive.

It really is easy to answer a question like this. All you need to do is think of the words "gender" and "sensitive" and decide what each word means and you will get to the answer. You just need to learn to think things through.

Sensitization of steel?

Sensitization happens when a stainless steel is held at an intermediate temperature (typically ~425 - 815 degrees Celsius) and chromium carbides precipitate at the grain boundaries. This precipitation of chromium carbides at the grain boundaries happens because the carbides are insoluble at these temperatures. In order for the carbide to precipitate, it must get chromium from the surrounding metal. This means that there is a chromium depleted zone around the grain boundaries. It should be apparent that this chromium depleted zone will be less corrosion resistant, specifically to intergranular corrosion. Sensitization is particularly important in metals that are welded. This is because the welding zone experiences temperatures in the range that can cause sensitization. This can cause localized intergranular corrosion at the weld site.
