 Feminists have also devoted attention to another aspect of language—the use of metaphor (see the section Feminist Critiques and Conceptions of Objectivity in the entry on  feminist epistemology and philosophy of science;  and the entry on  feminist approaches to the intersection of pragmatism and continental philosophy).  In particular, feminists have discussed the use of gendered metaphors in philosophy and in  science.[4]  Emily Martin (1991 [1996]) offers particularly vivid examples in her discussion of the use of gendered metaphors in discussions of human reproduction.
