In the latest episode on my KajoData channel, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maciej Makselon, known for his inspiring TED talk and as a staunch advocate for introducing feminine terms in Polish. Our conversation focused on the challenges associated with using feminine job titles in the IT industry, such as "analyst" and "programmer." Maciej emphasized the importance of respecting women's language choices in male-dominated environments and combating cultural stereotypes that unnecessarily limit their presence in prestigious professions. During the discussion, we also touched on how social and linguistic barriers affect the perception of women's professions and their well-being in the technology industry. Maciej highlighted research showing that job advertisements with only masculinized forms result in fewer applications from women. Our conversation demonstrated that the use of feminine forms is not a matter of fashion, but an important element in building a more inclusive and respectful work environment. I hope this exchange of ideas will contribute to greater awareness and acceptance of feminine forms in IT, demonstrating that everyone, regardless of gender, has the right to be appreciated and respected in their profession.
