Sexism in Language

Even today, there is always sexism in language. Men are viewed as professional, powerful and strong. Women are viewed as beautiful and sexy.
Hero, stewards, hair, and waiter and waitress have a masculine and feminine form to seperate them.

It's amazing how obvious this is.

Marriage used to be love, honor and obey now it's love,honor, and cherish. It was even worse to make the men look higher, it used to be women that were high, now men are.

We always like to make the masculine form seem strong while the women seem a bit more passive.
