Studies on language processes in our brain have demonstrated that the words human, individual, and person tend to conjure up cognitive images of men, not men and women. This finding reflects the cultural idea that:

a. men’s gender is more salient than women’s. Women’s gender is invisible.
b. men are "marked" as individuals, while women are seen as having a neutral personality.
c. women are thought of as kids rather than adults.
d. most people see men as people and women as a special kind of female person.
