    Are you okay having the tables flipped and someone calling you “sis”?

    Using male language as the default may not bother you and you may have no ill intent with it, but it does have a history tied to it. A history where women were seen as less than and didn’t have equal rights. Western society still uses male language slang regardless of gender (hey guys, dude, bro, bruh) and it all stems from a history of a patriarchal society. Every time we say, “hey guys” to refer to a mixed-gender group, we perpetuate patriarchy, whether we intended to or not.

    Legally and overall culturally, women are still seen as less than and we still don’t have equal rights (e.g. divorce and abortion law).
