Sex Ed for Legal WritersDavid E. SorkinThe John Marshall Law School Illinois Bar Journal, Vol. 81, p. 265, 1993 Abstract: Gender-biased language distracts readers and listeners from the message being communicated by diverting their attention away from the substance of the message and toward the words that are being used to express it. Such language also risks offending readers, and may even result in the reader receiving an entirely different message from the one intended by the writer. The article discusses problems raised by the use of gender-biased language and presents a list of potential solutions.
