Original sentence: Advocates of gender-neutral language modification are unhappy with this aspect of the language.Critics of such language modification argue that even if the female gender is more makred by the language, this could also mean that females are seen as more valuable, or have no inherent value judgement at all.Defenders of Esperanto also point out that this asymmetric treatment of male and female did not originate with the creation of their language, but rather reflects a general feature of most European languages, including those from which Esperanto was formed.Ido, a constructed language that is heavily based on Esperanto but seeks to avoid what some feminists see as its shortfallings, does not have this asymmetric gender-marking system.In Esperanto, like Romance Languages, the generic form of nouns is the same as the male form and different from the female form.Many feminists thus accuse the language of being inherently sexist.They argue further that the assignment of grammatical gender is something more arbitrary, and that Romance and German speakers generally do not make the sexist assumptions claimed by the critics, and that if they are sexist, this has nothing to do with the language they are speaking.They feel it has the implication that masculinity is some kind of default, and femininity is an exception, which they take to mean that females are seen as less important than males
Edited sentence: Defenders reply that this asymmetric treatment of male and female is not a feature of Esperanto, but only a general feature of most European languages.Esperanto is accused of being inherently sexist, because the generic form of nouns is the same as the male form and different from the female form.Ido, a constructed language that is heavily based on Esperanto but seeks to avoid its perceived shortfalls, does not have this asymmetric gender-marking system.In fact, given the arbitrary assignment of grammatical gender, Romance and German speakers generally do not make the sexist assumptions claimed by the critics.The feature is particularly irksome to English speakers, since the corresponding suffix -ess is much less used in that language.To some critics, this aspect of the language makes the implication that masculinity is some kind of default, and femininity is an exception
