Sexism in the English language often stems from historical power dynamics that have marginalized women and reinforced gender stereotypes. Language reflects cultural attitudes, and terms that are gendered can perpetuate ideas of male superiority, such as using "man" as a default for humanity. Additionally, the use of derogatory terms for women and the absence of female equivalents for certain male titles highlight systemic biases. Efforts to promote gender-neutral language aim to challenge and change these ingrained perceptions.
