In many ways, language perpetuates our gender biases. A stay-at-home dad is referred to as “Mr. Mom.” He’s not really a dad; he’s a male mom. And male employees with children are not referred to as “working fathers.” The implied “correct” gender roles are obvious in the phrases “Mr. Mom” and “working mothers.” Slaughter argues that all of us should make deliberate attempts to avoid phrases and words that reinforce gender stereotypes. Even the phrase “stay-at-home” is unfortunate, as it assumes that going to work is the normal state of things.
