What's Wrong with the Term "Female Founder"? Voice Marketing with Emily Binder
-
- Marketing
Someday soon we'll look back on the term "female founder" and group it with "secretary" or "stewardess", terms we deem derogatory or outdated and only your grandpa still says (which is cute when he does).
First, let's talk about anatomy. When we use the term "female," we're referring to a person's biological sex, which is determined by their reproductive organs. However, this doesn't necessarily correspond with a person's gender identity or how they identify themselves.
If you use this term, consider what it really means. Maybe you won't like it anymore. I don't care if you use it, I'm not offended, I've even used it in the past. Just sharing perspective.
