This lecture explores how everyday language practices influence our perception of gender, focusing on the concept of gender stereotypes and how certain terms become strongly associated with either women or men, affecting the way we speak and think. The instructor discusses the impact of using gender-stereotyped words and expressions, highlighting the tendency to infantilize women in a male-centered society and the differences in questions posed to women and men in the media.
