Is the term "nagware" considered sexist?
I have a suspicion, though I'm not certain, that the verb "nag" may be considered sexist. Is the term "nagware", describing software that constantly asks the user to pay for it, considered sexist?
Solution 1:
No—in this context, nagging is just persistent and annoying urging. It’s not exclusive to women.
There is a negative stereotype that women nag their male children and partners. Nagging wife or nagging mother could therefore be considered sexist, but nagging software or nagware is not.
