Grammatical errors creep into Feminist Bibles due to a reluctance to use the male pronoun, such that the plural, gender-neutral pronoun is used even when referring to only one person.  For example, most English translations translate James 2:15-16:  "If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to ''them'' ...."<ref>Surprisingly, virtually all English translations from the [[KJV]] to today have this grammatical error.  The quoted translation is from the [[New American Bible]].</ref>  The pronoun "them" is grammatically incorrect in this case but is intended to avoid using a gender-specific pronoun.  The [[New Century Version]] translates that in a grammatically correct (but still awkward style) as "A brother or sister in Christ might need clothes or food.  If you say to ''that person'' ...."

Examples of translations that have feminist tendencies are the [[New King James Version]], the [[Today's New International Version]], the [[New American Bible]] and, to a lesser extent, the [[Holman Christian Standard Bible]] and the [[NIV]].

For example, in Mark 9:36 Jesus makes reference to a child and a pronoun is then appropriate for referring to the child.  The [[New American Bible]] refers to the child as an "it" in order to appease feminism:<ref>Mark 9:36 (NAB) (emphasis added).</ref>
