This study examines the impact of gendered language on gender-related attitudes/behaviors. Using data from 31 countries, we establish a statistically significant negative relationship between the use of a gendered language and attitudes related to gender relations. Women who use a more gendered language are 2.7 to 4.1 percent more likely to think that wife beating is justified (for different reasons). Similar to this, we find that women who speak a more gendered primary language are also likely to report 2.9 to 13.5 percent lower participation in decision making across various domains.. Our findings show that language has a profound effect on actual behaviors, and the results are consistent with existing studies regarding the impact of gendered language on disparities in gender behavior.
