Week 11 Post 1

In the "flickr" discussion many words were talked about being ban and such things. Some of the people who commented didn’t seem to mind, so called, sexist words and even used them daily. I don't see the big deal when it comes to using those words. There were some comments of Flickr talking about banning those words, as I mentioned before. While this is all going on, I think negative sexist language and racist language should be recognized more than describing a boy as a man or girl as a woman. In the chapter 10 reading I was confused over the tag questions. I don't notice different impacts whether it comes from a man or a woman. However I do believe non-sexist language can be overlooked. For example, male nurse, stewardess, chairman, freshman, career woman, boys, girls and such words may be sexist. While I don't believe most of it is sexist or a big deal, it seems to offend other people.
