"Without realising it, we all use language that is subtly ‘gender-coded’.
Society has certain expectations of what men and women are like, and how they
differ, and this seeps into the language we use. Think about “bossy” and
“feisty”: we almost never use these words to describe men.
This linguistic gender-coding shows up in job adverts as well, and research has
shown that it puts women off applying for jobs that are advertised with
masculine-coded language.
This site is a quick way to check whether a job advert has the kind of subtle
linguistic gender-coding that has this discouraging effect."
