Is our language gendered

The word resting bitch faced is certainly a gendered word. This is evidenced by the definition on Urban dictionary beginning with a person, usually a girl. The expression is rooted in the word which although is defined, as a female dog, is commonly used to refer to woman with a bad attitude. The term "resting bitch face" is used exclusively for women, so I found it a bit surprising the definition did not explicitly say a woman. In practice, I have never heard the phrase used towards a man. This is certainly a prime example of a gendered phrase. 

A very interesting word for the purpose of studying gendered language is slut. This is defined as a woman with the morals of a man. Firstly, it blatantly addresses woman in the definition, but more interestingly, it states the derogatory word slut, and compares it to the morals of men. This means that the negative association with slut for a girl, is not negative to a man, but is simply the norm. Therefore, all men are sluts. In addition, since this derogatory term is understand as having the morals of a man, then men must all be promiscuous and cannot have positive morals. This word is a very interesting example of a gendered term.

The term fun-sized also has the term girl in it's definition. In my opinion this is because the ideal woman is supposed to be fun-sized so it is associated with women. On the otherhand, the ideal man is supposed to be large and bulky. Therefore, they do not fit the fun-sized mold. Realistically guys are short just as often as girls are, so it makes no sense this word is gendered. 

Another term that is gendered is the word gangster. The word refers to a person involved with gang activity, but it is only used to refer to men. It is true more men are involved wit this type of activity, but it is not unheard of for a women to be involved. Again, I believe this has to do with the tough persona of men as opposed to the gentile nature imposed upon women. Men are associated with gang like attributes, but women are not. These words highlight that our language is quite gendered.
