#genderfairlanguage

Using #language to counter bias favoring masculine-specific representations:
• gender-unmarked forms (neutralization strategy, e.g., “l'enfant”) are not fully effective in neutralizing the masculine bias.
• contracted double forms (re-feminization strategy, e.g., “un·e enfant”) are more effective in promoting gender balance compared to gender-unmarked forms.

The findings indicated that gender-unmarked forms do not fully neutralize the masculine bias. For example, “l'enfant” has no fixed grammatical gender, still our participants mostly interpreted it as "male child". This is probably because, in everyday language, gender-unmarked forms are often used as generic masculine terms (“Ils ont eu un enfant”) or carry underlying masculine stereotypes (e.g. "citizen" in George Bush’s “We cannot tolerate attacks on the wife of an American citizen”).
