Have you ever thought about why we use such different words to describe men and women?
A dominant male in the workplace can be described as assertive while a woman with the same characteristics could be called bossy.
Unlike practically any other European language, English doesn't have a lot of gender inherent words but some of our words have become gendered anyway. Think about the word feisty - have you ever heard a man described that way?
Do we need to be more careful about the words we use and how we use them?
