It has been postulated, I think plausibly, that the commonality of such language is one reason why this gender disparity continues to exist.
Personally, I agree with this argument. If you disagree, that is fine -- but please show a little bit more respect.

The idea that "the commonality of such language" is the reason, is like the idea that video games and action movies create killers and criminals.
- impendia 13y agoOkay, I agree. The ideas indeed have much in common. My point stands here equally well, for the same reason. (This idea I happen to disagree with, but that's not relevant.) The idea you mentioned is not obviously stupid. I don't see what dismissing the idea without refuting it adds to the conversation.
