Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Historically coded as property transfer in patrilineal systems; daughters' education, inheritance, and autonomy restricted compared to sons in many legal traditions.

Inclusive Usage

Use inclusively when referencing familial relationships; pair with equivalent recognition of sons. Avoid framing daughters as dependents without agency.

Inclusive Alternatives

["children","offspring","heirs"]

Empowerment Note

Daughters have inherited and expanded family legacies, businesses, and intellectual traditions; recognize their role as agents rather than recipients.
