I would like to direct this question specifically to the NWCI, but if anyone else has any views, I would like to hear them also. Given that the vast majority of care in the home is performed by women, will shifting everything to gender-neutral language do anything to shift the cultural default setting whereby care in the home falls to women to the detriment of their own economic independence?
