Spotlighting refers to the practice of using a person's full name when mentioning them, which is more commonly done with males than females. Diminutive suffixes for female terms, such as "actress" instead of "actor," reinforces the idea that male is the default norm and that women are a variation from that norm. The use of animal and food terms to refer to females is a dehumanizing practice that occurs when women are objectified and reduced to their body parts or characteristics. All of these practices directly reflect the belief of male as normative.
