+.TH SEXIST 1
+.SH NAME
+sexist \- print sexist terms and suggest alternatives
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B sexist
+[
+.B \-flags
+][
+.B \-ver
+][
+.B \-f
+pfile ][file ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Sexist
+locates and prints all sentences in a document
+that contain possibly sexist words or phrases.
+The word or phrase in each sentence is surrounded
+with stars and brackets, e.g. *[girl]*.
+The line numbers of the sentences are also printed.
+.PP
+Following that,
+.I sexist
+prints alternatives to the sexist phrases
+found in the document.
+The alternatives encourage:
+.RS 3
+.TP 3
+1.
+describing men and women in parallel terms.
+For example, "men and girls" should probably be changed to "men and women."
+.TP
+2.
+using neutral terms instead of sex-related terms.
+For example "business executive"
+could easily replace the stereotypic "businessman."
+.TP
+3.
+using new, non-sexist Bell System job titles.
+.RE
+.PP
+If the user has a file named
+.IR $HOME/lib/sexdict ,
+.I sexist
+locates or ignores phrases contained in that file.
+.IR Dictadd (1)
+can be used to set up
+.I $HOME/lib/sexdict.
+.I Dictadd
+gives instructions on the necessary format for phrases
+to be located or ignored by
+.I sexist.
+.PP
+Options are:
+.RS 5
+.TP 9
+.BI \-f " pfile"
+Use the user's phrase file,
+.I pfile,
+in addition to the default file of sexist phrases.
+When the
+.BI "\-f " pfile
+option is used,
+.I sexist
+does not check
+.I $HOME/lib/sexdict
+for phrases.
+The format instructions given by
+.I dictadd
+should be followed in setting up
+.I pfile.
+.RE
+.PP
+Two options give information about the program:
+.RS 5
+.TP 7
+.B \-flags
+print the command synopsis line (see above)
+showing command flags and options,
+then exit.
+.TP
+.B \-ver
+print the Writer's Workbench version number of the command, then exit.
+.RE
+.SH EXAMPLE
+1. The command:
+.PP
+.RS 5
+.B "sexist -f patfile filename"
+.RE
+.PP
+will print sentences from
+.I filename
+that contain sexist words or phrases,
+including or suppressing phrases as specified in
+.IR patfile .
+Suggested replacements for sexist phrases will also be printed.
+.I Sexist
+will not locate or ignore phrases in
+.I $HOME/lib/sexdict
+when the
+.B \-f
+option is used.
+.SH FILES
+.TP 21
+/tmp/$$*
+temporary files
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+dictadd(1)
+.SH BUGS
+Because
+.I sexist
+does not consider context,
+it may bracket phrases that are used appropriately
+and may recommend inappropriate alternatives.
+It is up to the user to determine which changes should be made.
+.PP
+If formatting macros are included in the input text,
+the beginning line number of a sentence containing a sexist phrase
+may be a line containing a macro preceding the sentence.
+.PP
+.I Sexist
+makes no attempt to segment text into sentences accurately,
+e.g., it does not know any abbreviations.
+.PP
+.I Sexist
+will not find the second of two consecutive sexist phrases,
+nor will it find a sexist phrase at the end of a sentence.
