How to avoid sexism when writing a unique article

Read the following examples.

Everyone should do its duty here.

I saw a Writer who once burned one of its books just because they didn’t sell well.

Give the player this jacket when Hears wants it.

In the sentences above, the words “everyone”, “writer” and “player” can refer to both a man and a woman. When it comes to sentences like the previous ones, it is clear that the speaker of those sentences speaks of everyone, of men and women. However, the pronouns that follow (su, he) restrict the reference to the male sex only. So there is a communication gap. For example, when you say “Everyone should do its duty, “then if all are obedient and obedient, each of them will fulfill its duty- except the women, If any. And why should they? You have used the masculine pronoun “his”. As a result, women may think that they are excluded. And if they neglect your instruction, you can’t blame any of them; all you can do is blame it on English grammar.

· Rephrase the sentence if possible.

Examples:

Sexist: If any student country Tk. 500, Hears you are given a ticket.

Non-sexist: Any student who pays Tk. 500 receives a ticket.

Sexist: When a player breaks the law, Hears should be under test.

Non-sexist: A player who breaks the law should be tried.

Sexist: If a customer does not receive good service, Hears may not come back for service.

Non-sexist: To the client who you do not receive good service, you may not request the service again.

· Make the pronoun reference plural if it doesn’t change the meaning of the original sentence.

Examples:

Sexist: We give the customer what Hears deserves.

Non-sexist: We give customers what they deserve.

Sexist: No officer will leave its office before five.

Non-sexist: The officers won’t leave its Offices before five.

Sexist: If a reader doesn’t find the beginning of an article attractive, Hears you will likely discard the item.

Non-sexist: Yes readers you don’t find the beginning of an article attractive, they you will likely discard the item.

· Use neutral pronouns when necessary.

Examples

Sexist: If any player gets hurt, take he to the nearest hospital.

Non-sexist: If any player gets hurt, take he or she to the nearest hospital.

Sexist: If a reader doesn’t find the beginning of an article attractive, Hears you will likely discard the item.

Non-sexist: If a reader doesn’t find the beginning of an article attractive, her you will likely discard the item.

Sexist: If someone is wrong about something, Hears I should admit it.

Non-sexist: Yes one is wrong at something, one I should admit it.

In this regard, it should be remembered that frequent use of “he or she” or “he / she” looks and sounds very uncomfortable. Therefore, care must be taken in its use. For example, phrases such as the following should be avoided:

If a customer wants to return the merchandise he she bought from our store, please tell he she that we will take it; but we will not give he she money back.

To avoid male dominance, modern usage requires you to avoid words ending with “man”, such as chair.man, mailman, Milkmandirtyman, cameraman etc. Although a female person has no objection to being female, she is likely to be offended if such words are used to refer to both sexes in general. These words are now avoided in various ways instead of, for example, saying, “Ms. Khan was the President of the meeting, “we can say,” Ms. Khan was the chaired the meeting, “or” Mrs. Khan was the chair / moderator / chair meeting officer, “or” Ms. Khan was the chaired during the meeting. “The following list shows some alternatives to some objectionable sexist words.

Sexist

Non-sexist

Entrepreneur

Entrepreneur, business executive

Cameraman

Cameraman

Congressman

Representative, member of congress

Fireman

Fireman

Postman

Postman, Postman.

Made by the man

Made by the man. Human-made, manufactured

Workforce

Workers, staff, employees, human resources

Policeman

Seller

Salesperson, sales representative

Note that although manfact is offensive human– fact is not. And even though manthe power is offensive, human resource is not. Once again, although an employee is a womanshe is not part of manEnergy; rather, she is part of human resource.

It’s harder to follow than to remember, right? Some people say yes. A friend of mine named Kashfia Tabassum Nila made some biased comments about it. “I find it a bit contradictory and ironic,” she said, “because I have an objection not only to being a ‘MAN’ in words, but also to being feminine in words as an author, a poet, a doctor, a sculptor or something like that. I am also author, poet, lawyer, sculptor or doctor, they lie. I don’t like the ‘-is’ part of such sexist words. ” So it would be better to refer to both women and men in these professions with the same words. Fair and fair words are always better.
