A subtle distinction in the way women are singled out
by the language is evident in the way that the same personality 【M1】______
trait is characterized approvingly for one sex and denigrated
for the other. However, if a man is aggressive, he is considered 【M2】______
a go-getter, a serf-starter, while a woman is considered pushy
or a castrating bitch. If a woman consistently agrees to her 【M3】______
boss, she will be thought bright, a man will be called a yes-man 【M4】______
or an ass-licker.
Many of these discrepancies involve in words that deal directly 【M5】______
or indirectly in women's sexuality. In fact, one linguist has 【M6】______
even made the case 'lady' is used as a euphemism for 【M7】______
'woman,' in that 'woman'' implies at sexuality, while 'lady' 【M8】______
is desexed. Certainly, 'woman' is a word that can imply the
presence not only of sex, but also of power, which 'lady' cannot.
A lady doctor or Ladies' Lib would simply be incongruous.
Although women are used harshly by language, they are not in
their own turn allowed to using harsh language. Women' s language 【M9】______
in English, at least according to stereotype, does not contain
swear words. Robin Lakoff distinguished another character 【M10】______
of women's speech, the tag-form. sentence: a statement of fact
undercut by a final question. 'We are going tomorrow, aren't we?'
'This is a terrific play, isn't it?' Even when a woman is assertive,
she often shows token of apparent passivity, as ff all her assertions
were only tentative.
【M1】

A.
B.
A
C.
Although
D.
【M1】
