13. This exercise will give you practice in recognizingsexually biased language and avoiding it in your writing. Before attempting the exercise, you may find it helpful to review the following:
☹ Biased: The teacher should use technology when she is teaching her class. - This sentence assumes that teachers are female, making assumptions about the gender of this profession and creating gender bias.
☺Better: Teachers should use technology when they are teaching their classes. - This statement does not use gender-specific pronouns, but acknowledges a teacher can be male or female. Note that this sentence avoids bias by changing the singular "teacher" to be plural and uses plural pronouns.
Consider how the following sentences reinforce sexual stereotypes by their reliance on gender-biased language. Then revise the sentences to eliminate the bias:
1. Each laboratory assistant must perform the experiment at least once before he teaches it to the class.
2. No matter how busy he is, a pilot should take time to thank the stewardesses at the end of every flight.
3. My grandparents' days consist of waiting by the window for someone to come up the walk - whether a friend or a salesman.
4. Though occasionally she may be called on to help others in the office, a secretary should take orders only from the manager she supports.
