Indianidol Heroines Boobs



For the presentation, handouts, discussion and seminar work equally applies observing gender-inclusive language use.

studies have shown (Rothmund & Scheele 2004; Irmer & Linn 2005) :
  • Generic masculine leads to asymmetric referencing (for men). A footnote: "Women are co-intended in the text" caused "deprivation dynamics"
  • caps-I leads to asymmetric referencing (to women)
  • pair of mold and mold-pair neutralization brought symmetrical Reference of women and men
Therefore:


  1. If women are "co-intended," they should be explicitly mentioned, because the generic masculine men tend to be associated.
  2. Does the sex not matter neutral forms are preferable because they have a smaller "male bias" as the generic masculine.
  3. in gender-stereotyped contexts requires the conscious designation (eg electricians, computer scientists) to cause female associations (so as is indeed kindergarten teachers and nurses do not have to feel co-intended and will be extra hereinafter).
