Attitudes Towards Sexist Language by Parks and Roberton

In the article written by Parks and Roberts the authors analyzed an experiment which would allow them to pinpoint whether college students thought sexist language still existed. Their findings were not what they expected, many of the college students ranging from ages 18-20 were in support of the old fashion sexism language usage. There may be many reasons why college students feel as if sexist language does not exist one could be that they have seen the opportunities that were given to women by reading it in history books and benefiting form them now and that creates the belief that they have come far and should be content. when in reality it has not been that long ago since women received equal rights. This idea will leave women once more disempowed if women fail t recognize that there is some sort of biased. It is and will lead to a regression in women's rights and treatment by society if women do not except that they are not equal to men.
