Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Roundup (glyphosate) was marketed aggressively to farming families, with women and children disproportionately exposed during agricultural work and household exposure. Marketing downplayed reproductive/developmental risks longer in women's health than occupational contexts.

Inclusive Usage

Use clinical terminology; acknowledge gender-differentiated exposure patterns when discussing health impacts.

Inclusive Alternatives

["glyphosate (technical)","herbicide (general)"]

Empowerment Note

Women farmers and agricultural scientists like Stephanie Seneff have been central to exposing understudied health risks of glyphosate, particularly for reproductive and developmental outcomes.
