I think there is a time and place for everything. The language that I use in a work environment is totally different than the language I use when speaking to my friends. I do think that people go overboard when they name call too much or characterize all women or men to be a certain way or a certain name.
I think that anger plays a huge part in the characterization of women and men. For instance, if a women cheats or her husband she might be called a slut or a hoer. If a man cheats or her wife he might be called a dog. I don’t think it is right to use these filthy words but I’ve become victim to them a few times.
This topic I can relate to my job because I work for the Township and we have board meeting once a month. There was controversy on whether we should call the chairmen, who was a women, chairwomen or chairperson. It was originally called the chairmen until we had a women elected. Now the position is called chairperson so that it applies to anyone.
