Re: English: A Sexist Language?
Language is certainly part of society and culture, but it is not the whole of either.That's actually an excellent point. Language barriers are most important and prevalent in maintaining the perception of a distinct and united culture. Your language is your culture, inescapably, the same way as religion is. Of course, the article is drivel and sociology doesn't seem to be her strong point, but your comment didn't seem to address that much either.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
