Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to feminist theory, language reflects and reinforces cultural patterns that support gender inequality, such as the use of gendered language (e.g. "he" as the default pronoun), the imposition of gender roles and stereotypes through language, and the normalization of male-dominated language and discourse. Therefore, A is the best choice as it aligns with these feminist arguments. B, C, and D may all have some relationship with language and culture, but they are not directly related to gender inequality as A is.
