This is where Western and Japanese linguistics show their biggest difference. The former has a tendency to try making heavy generalizations (finding the universal properties of language/s) and prove it by crafting a few examples fitted

Great idea. Then we can finally stop counting men and women in all occupations as those counts are used as the basis of sexist policies.

That's not a real solution because education is mostly at the hand of governments, who are close to the said corporations. And the even if people were more critical about what they read, it is not that helpful since all the media outle
