Our daily lexicon is overburdened with sexist labels for women. But years of using them with impunity has interwoven offensive vocabulary into our subconsciousness, so much so that these slurs now hide cleverly in plain sight. We say them now impetuously, most likely unaware as to the heavy baggage they carry.
For instance, the first thought for many upon hearing a woman from a humble background is marrying a partner rolling in money would be that she is a 'gold digger.' There is also the reality of go-getter women in top leadership roles who, despite their experience and caliber, face accusations of being 'bossy' and 'arrogant'. Or that a sexually independent woman is perceived as a 'slut.'
