Answer to Question 1
Scholars have suggested several ways in which language and gender are intertwined. For example, the English language ignores women by using the masculine form to refer to human beings in general (e.g., the word man is used generically in words like chairman and mankind.). A language-based predisposition to think about women in sexual terms reinforces the notion that women are sexual objects. Women are often described by terms such as fox, broad, bitch, babe, or doll, which ascribe childlike or even pet-like characteristics to them. By contrast, men have performance pressures placed on them by being defined in terms of their sexual prowess, e.g., dude, stud, and hunk.

division of labor and the tendency toward expansion can lead to problems that lead to
inefficiency. One of these is trained incapacity.
