Discrimination: On Monday 24 Hours, Tribune de Genève, Tages-Ansiger, Basler Zeitung, Berner Zeitung and Bund, three-quarters of the Swiss language was cut off. Women (31%) are more sensitive in this regard than men (14%). Academics (32%) are also more likely to use it. Age also plays a role, with 28% of 18-34 year olds opting for an inclusive language, compared to 17% of over 65s. The midpoint is also not estimated. Only 9% of French-native respondents make this choice when writing. The generic masculine is the preferred solution for French speakers.
