If a term refers to a person of undetermined gender, don't use a "male" pronoun (example: "A doctor should give his best treatment to every patient." -> "A doctor should always give the best treatment to every patient").
2. If a term makes use of the word "man," re-evaluate if it refers to a "human" or a "male" then use the appropriate term (example: "Man is good by nature" -> "A human is good by nature").
3. If a sentence refers to a woman as an extension of a man (example: Mr. John Roberts and his wife), give emphasis to both persons as individuals (example: Mr. John...
Linda Roberts). This includes terms such as "female doctor" (use "doctor" instead) and "actress" (use "actor" instead.
These are general rules but it will help a lot in evaluating and composing non-sexist writing. Non-sexist writing is not a set of rules that force us to use certain terms or phrases, but a guide to promote equality among the sexes.
