Throughout her speech to a male and female audience about management techniques, Monica continually referred to managers in feminine terms

Question

She
said such things as, "When a manager has to confront a disgruntled
employee, she needs every ounce of tact and patience she can get" and "The
effective manager will clearly convey to her employees what she expects
from them." According to your text's information on sexist language, was
Monica communicating appropriately?
A. Yes; if female managers are ever going to receive equal representation in
management levels of corporations, people must get used to hearing
feminine language used to refer to them.
B. No; Monica's use of feminine pronouns was just as sexist, exclusive a
practice as if she had only referred to a manager as him.
C. Yes; since Monica was a female manager and women were present in
the audience, her language choices reflected her use of the receiver
orientation to communication.
D. No; Monica should have used generic, masculine pronouns because
most people recognize these terms as substitutes for all people.
