Linguist Vivian Probst reveals how masculine English is, containing, she claims, almost 20,000 words that contain 'he' words and only a handful for women that don't attach us to men. Her premise is that the absence of words for women in English is a primary factor in our inability to achieve equality.

  • Probst shows us how easy it is to make English a fair and equal language by respelling only six words. She then challenges all English speakers, whether native or second-language to bring equality to English by using these easy word spelling changes. Her suggested changes are based on her linguistic background.
