How to eliminate biased language from your writing.

The following words are often associated with sexist attitudes.

- bossy

The word "hysteria" is derived from the word for uterus.

These terms have traditionally been used to describe women, and they should be avoided even when describing men.

For example, describing a man as "a b*tch" or "a p*ssy" reveals sexist attitudes. https://twitter.com/Ash__V/status/1202346288143929344?s=20
Pejorative words can be reclaimed or re-appropriated by members of a group. As with the word "queer", "b*tch", etc., words can be reclaimed in ways that empower.

However, words like "b*tch" can still reinforce stereotypes even when reclaimed. Up to you! https://twitter.com/janetr12/status/1202349859765919744?s=20
