This is true.

I believe that using male-centered language does perpetuate a male-dominated society.. when you hear male-centered words for your whole life, it affects you, even if you don't realize it.

Although, I don't make an issue of it when I hear someone use that kind of language. I try not to, myself, but whatever. I have bigger fish to fry.
