Included in the thought? New studies on the generic masculine

One man among 15 women: In this case, the use of the generic masculine would be grammatically correct. (Image: Daniel Berkmann) The generic masculine generally emphasizes the masculine side. The fact that all genders are of course meant does not change this. This is shown by a new study by Würzburg psychologists. It is a crux with the generic masculine in German: if a group is made up of 99 female professors and only one male professor, it would be grammatically correct to speak of "the professors" in this case. After all, the masculine plural always includes women. One should simply not confuse the grammatical gender with the natural gender - at least that is the view of many gender opponents.
