Assertion
Experiments with German speakers (Stahlberg and colleagues, 2001) found that paired and capital-I forms made women more visible than the masculine default in tasks like naming favorite heroes and musicians; a 2024 replication across 12 laboratories with 2,697 participants (Brohmer and colleagues) found the same for split pairs, internal I, and gender-star forms.
