Even reform critic John Simon agrees with this. He states, however, that “women should not interfere with language, in a man's world, language belongs to men” (Simon, cited in Romaine, pp. 292, 1999). This is an example of sexism as a social conflict. However, society and language are linked since the English language “reflects and constructs the position of women as inferior to men” (Romaine, pp. 291, 1999). English as a construct is rather masculine in many ways. The question of male prejudice is not resolved simply by changing the words that pose a problem, according to Romaine (pp. 125, 1999), since she states: "it is not the linguistic forms themselves that discriminate, but the way of which they are used. in particular contexts to particular people.” In my opinion, the way we use language is both a symptom and a cause of sexism in society. It is important not to contribute to outdated ideas and use language in a way that demeans anyone in their fight for a more equal life.
