Overrepresentation: there are more insults for women than men.
Pronouns 'he' used as a generic form of reference e.g. two-man tent', these phrases make women seem inferior
Grammar: Masculine pronoun 'he' is used generally to refer to males and females.
Male words are used first to show they are of a higher status.
Marking/ modifier tells us that it is unusual for that sex to partake in that job e.g. 'male' nurse
Non sexist/ inclusive usage: eg headmaster/mistress- head teacher
