Specialty Definition: Gender-specific pronoun

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The gender-specific pronouns of a language distinguish between male and female people (and often of animals as well). The English language has eight third person singular personal pronouns: he, she, him, her, his, hers, himself and herself. The other English pronouns do not make this distinction, i.e., they are "ungendered", although all eight pronouns have been also used in a gender-neutral sense: see "generic usage" below.

This meaning of gender to mean gender role or sex should not be confused with the grammatical gender of other languages such as French and Spanish, which assign gender to nouns such as la maison or le crayon. Other languages have genders that are not analogous to sex, such as "animate" and "inanimate" in Ojibway. (see grammatical gender).

They decline as follows:

Subject Object Possessive Adjective Possessive Pronoun Reflexive
Male He laughed I hit him His face bled I am his He shaves himself
Female She laughed I hit her Her face bled I am hers She shaves herself

Ships and Countries

Traditionally ships have been referred to using the feminine pronouns (even ships named after men, such as the USS Abraham Lincoln), as well as countries and oceans. The origins of this practice are not certain, and it is currently in decline (though more common for ships, particularly in nautical usage, than for countries).

In March 2002, the British newspaper Lloyds List announced that it would start referring to all vessels as 'it', but subsequently reversed its decision after receiving letters of protest.

Generic Usage

Usage of him and his to refer to a generic member of a mixed sex group was prescribed by manuals of style and school textbooks from the early 19th century until around the 1960s. It was called 'generic' or 'universal'

Gender-specific pronouns are also sometimes used when most members of some group are the same gender, with a small number of members of the opposite gender.

Compare the word man when used refer to humans in general.

Generic use and Non-sexist language

Some people feel that this can cause a variety of problems. In particular, many feminists feel that the male pronouns imply a masculine referent, which they argue would tend to exclude women unfairly (see sexism).

Recently, some people also use female pronouns in a generic sense, to draw attention to feminist issues. Some authors recommend alternating between the use of the generic male and the generic female, perhaps on a per-chapter basis.

Some people use compound forms to emphasize the possibility of the referent having either sex: such as he or she, him or her, his or her or himself or herself. Any of these forms could be reversed, so as not to imply that males had priority: she or he, her or him, her or his or herself or himself. There are also abbreviated forms, such as s/he and him/herself, but most language commentators dismiss them as unpronounceable for everyday speech. However, these and neologisms such as "hir", "sie" and their variants are used at times.

Government Usage

It is not unheard of for governments, clubs and other groups to reinterpret sentences like 'every member must take off his shoes before entering the chapel' to mean that therefore female members may not enter the chapel. Indeed, the Persons Case, the legal battle over whether or not Canadian women counted as legal persons eligible to sit in the Senate, partially turned on such a point.

In 1984 the Minnesota State Legislature ordered that all gender-specific language be removed from the state laws. After two years of work, the rewritten laws were adopted. Only 301 of 20,000 pronouns were feminine. "His" was changed 10,000 times and "he" was changed 6,000 times.

By contrast, the Constitution of Ireland, describes the President of Ireland throughout as 'he', yet the two most recent presidents were women; in 1997, four of the five candidates in the election were women. Efforts in a court case to argue that 'he' excluded women were dismissed by the Irish Supreme Court, which ruled the term 'gender-neutral'.

She (novel)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

She is a novel by H. Rider Haggard, first serialized in The Graphic from October 1886 to January 1887. It recounts the adventures of an expedition to an unexplored part of Africa, where they find a beautiful and apparently immortal sorceress who claims the expedition's leader as the reincarnation of her long-dead lover.

The title is short for "She Who Must Be Obeyed", the title bestowed upon the sorceress Ayesha by the tribe she has enslaved. (The phrase has passed into British popular culture as the name by which John Mortimer's character Horace Rumpole refers to his wife.)

In the original novel, Ayesha is selfish and amoral, caring nothing for the feelings or even the lives of others so long as she gets what she wants. In a sequel, Ayesha (1905), and a prequel, Wisdom's Daughter, Haggard attempted to reform her character, apparently uncomfortable with having such an unsympathetic character at the centre of the series.

She has been adapted to film many times, including a 1965 Hammer Horror version starring Ursula Andress as Ayesha and John Richardson as her reincarnated love, with Peter Cushing and Bernard Cribbins as other members of the expedition.

Devil's Dictionary

SMITHAREEN, n. A fragment, a decomponent part, a remain. The word is used variously, but in the following verse on a noted female reformer who opposed bicycle-riding by women because it "led them to the devil" it is seen at its best: The wheels go round without a sound -- The maidens hold high revel; In sinful mood, insanely gay, True spinsters spin adown the way From duty to the devil! They laugh, they sing, and -- ting-a-ling! Their bells go all the morning; Their lanterns bright bestar the night Pedestrians a-warning. With lifted hands Miss Charlotte stands, Good-Lording and O-mying, Her rheumatism forgotten quite, Her fat with anger frying. She blocks the path that leads to wrath, Jack Satan's power defying. The wheels go round without a sound The lights burn red and blue and green. What's this that's found upon the ground? Poor Charlotte Smith's a smithareen! John William Yope
