Flawed English Language

The english language is flawed and inherently embedded in historical racism and sexism. This often stems from the cultural normalization of words and phrases that don't quite work in the modern day society. In some cases, the words have evolved in the pronunciation and spelling. While in other cases they have been linguistically defined and created over time. It is surprising how feminists don't take issue with changing significant aspects of the language. The following are some examples of words, phrases, and their usage that should really change and provide some uniqueness to genders as well as the ways in which race is contextualized as part of every day speech.

Words like mankind, manipulate, mansplaining, etc - that have the word man in them

Words like womansplaining - that have the word man in them

Female and Woman - that have the word male and man embedded in them

Blacklist and Whitelist - that make it obvious that black is bad, white is good
