    Gender-biased words have been seen as problematic by some who believe neutral pronouns should be promoted to reduce bias and support gender equality. However, others argue that replacing gendered words with neutral ones will not actually help reduce the social gender gap, as sexism and misogyny can be shown through actions and thoughts regardless of the words used. This essay will argue that eradicating gendered words will not help reduce gender inequality, as bias can still exist through behaviors and perspectives instead of language alone.

    Gender-biased words have been perceived as a problematic issue in today’s society.

    Many
    believe that neutral pronouns should have been promoted extensively to eradicate the bias and
    support the notion of gender equality. This development has been regarded as a positive
    measure to reduce the gap between gender, however not a few believe that it was an
    unnecessary movement that will not be reinforcing the existing gender bias. This essay argues
    that eradicating gender-biased words, in favor of gender-neutral words will not help to reduce
    the social gender gap. This will be asserted by showing that the concept of sexism and misogyny
    can still be manifested and conceptualized by actions and thoughts instead of using words
    solely.
