Feminists have criticised his work as stereotypical and sexist.
While dogmatizing on women’s characteristics of speech, Jespersen did
not collect his own data from actual conversations of women: he instead
refers to women’s dialogues in novels written by men. Feminists have
argued that because of Jespersen’s overt prejudice against women and the
insufficiency of his method, alleged women’s language in his work should
be considered as a product of the androcentric ideology. However, the
problem is not only that Jespersen’s work is stereotypical, but that these
stereotypes have been swallowed, and perhaps are still believed by the
public. Generally the problem of stereotyping is that stereotypes, which
may or may not be close to reality, tend to be justified by the fact that
many people believe them, and consequently the social prejudices hidden
behind them also tend to be justified.
