My position is that the amplification of bias from 'reality' or our current set of training data is bad because it violates my sense of Rawlsian justice. Here is some good documentation/fixing of that amplification, also from Boston University: https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.09797
My working hypothesis is that embedding sex roles in language use acts as useful guidelines for humans and is generally speaking beneficial. Suggests well tried and proven paths for individuals to pursue based on their sex. Outliers can ignore them as they see fit.
