nonsexist
Treating genders equally
Nonsexist describes language, policies, or attitudes that avoid discrimination based on sex or gender.
A nonsexist job posting uses gender-neutral terms like "firefighter" rather than "fireman." The word emerged alongside feminist critiques of gendered language: nonsexist parenting, nonsexist hiring practices.
