Blog #5- "Kings are Royaler Than Queens": Language and Socialization
Okay this article very interesting to me. I guess I never really thought about how many times we use the word "he" or the word "she". I do find myself using "he" to describe something even if I do not know it's gender. I remember playing outside with my little cousin Ryan, who is 3, and we where looking at some bugs. I remember saying to Ryan, "that little guy is really fast!" What I am trying to say is that I used the word "he" even though I do not know what the gender of the bug was. From this point on am going to try and remember this article and remind myself about the way we use these words.
