I think he means this:

How does a person's language usage reflect his or her attitude toward men/women?

Here are some terms for "man" and "woman" in English:

Man:
Man
Boy
Lad
Homeboy (homie)
Guy
G
Thug
Pimp
Player (playa)
Boss
Dude
Sir
Mister
Male
Brother

Woman:
Woman
Girl
Lady
Lass
Dame
Madam
Miss
Misses (AKA "Mrs.")
Bitch
Ho
Whore
Cunt
Tramp
Gold-digger
Slut
Sister
Female

Obviously there are "rules" for the use of each of these terms. For instance, I would not refer to my mother as a "ho". My mom is a lady; my ex- girlfriend is a ho/gold-digger/slut/cunt.

hehe

Think of the terms, whether or not they are used derogatorily, and what that says about the person saying it and about the culture that created the term.
