1.Introduction

Gender differences have been entered into English language studies. Gender differences in English language mainly refer to the use of a certain male and female sexual characteristics language. In a language,it can be used to distinguish between male and female language.Gender difference, as a sociological issue and an important part of interpersonal communication, has growing attention in recent years. The issue of the relationship between language and gender is developed to be a multi-angled, interdisciplinary subject in linguistics. English has been carved up a number of features, which can reflect the history and social development. As an old language, gender difference has become an important research. Exploring gender difference in language is not only the task of language,but also the necessary community requirement for development. Since the early 1970s, the relationship between language and gender has become one of the main issues in social linguistics. On the basis of numerous former scholars and studies, this paper will discusses gender different in details and propose some personal opinions on the ways of avoiding using the language with gender difference and advocate people to increase female voice.
