Question: Does androcentrism perpetuate gender roles?
Position‹2 of 2: No, androcentrism does not perpetuate gender roles

The language that is claimed to be androcentric is historically gender-neutral, and any attempts to eradicate this language is wasted effort at best and oppressive at worst.

Language is already gender-neutral
Words like "mankind" and "man-made" have historically referred to all humans, so these terms are not gendered and therefore do not perpetuate any gender roles.
Efforts to dispel androcentric language go too far
Replacing words like "mankind" with "humankind" is simply a form of political correctness that censors people. There is no need to change anything because there are more important issues.
