AutocorrectHER Extension

Currently intended for North American English but we hope to roll it out to other countries in the near future.

AutocorrectHER will help make sure your emails at work and home are free of any inappropriate or disrespectful words or phrases toward women. Adding AutocorrectHER to Chrome means that when we use words like “bossy” or “moody”, it will suggest a more suitable alternative. Daily language shapes the way we think. And all of us are not always aware of our gender-biased language. This tool acts as a safeguard to ensure our language reflects these hard-fought, present-day values.

Jazzquez (ID: 0000007fc45e596e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/06/2019 This software is sexist, which would be fine if it didn't state "Fix any gender-biased language when writing emails" in its description... The function works great in regards to filtering speech to women, but completely ignores any derogatory comments or slander about men or others. If you are going to make something for equality, you should try and make sure it isn't just "equal for half".

Matt MacPherson (ID: 000000ddadfa21f7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/09/2019 Wow. I thought this was a joke extension. I really can't believe something like this exists... And the examples are absurde. "Bossy" is inappropriate!? If you genuinely think you need something like this, check yourself into therapy.
