I feel that I use my work examples more often than any other example and I do apologize for that. However, these examples are the most relevant examples that I can draw upon. I feel that I sometimes use language that resembles heterosexism, but it is always unintentional. For example, when I am referring to the delivery process for our orders, I refer to the delivery team as men way too often. Although I am sure that it is usually men that take care of our deliveries, it is not a definite and one could argue that I am acting as a sexist. I am certainly not trying to show any disrespect or any sexism, but I do this very often. I feel that this can be argued both ways, as well. Sometimes, when referring to gardening or to home improvement projects that are often taken care of by females, I unintentionally assume that it is a woman that will be partaking in these projects, rather than using objective language. I am certainly hoping that our customers do not take offense to this, but I feel that it is a very easy mistake to make.
