Shouldn’t the things that we use in our daily discourse represent our ideals of equality and diversity? Yes, I also get the logic that they were made some 1000 years back when only kings ruled the world, so yes, in that era, this might be rightfully acceptable but, why does it have to continue to represent our realities when apparently we are pushing for gender equality in all spheres of our life? Also, it might appear as a first world problem to some, with little relevance among the greater issues like equal pay but these little things that we use in our daily life echo our belief systems and deep-rooted gender-stereotypes which form the basis of our society.
