Emerso Digital Binoculars

grammar of feminism


Today is the International Day of Violence against Women.

We have seen the Ruby case, the case of D'Addario, the case Carfagna (now minister, Silvio wanted to resign but understand it and then stays) and many other cases in which women are sad protagonists, displayed as trophies, and escorts Babydolls simple stress.

But I do not usually get lost in the attack on this male-dominated society, I would be rhetoric.

On the one hand, point out one thing I did in those days and I'm very proud, that the interview with Shirin Ebadi that the esters of the Republic had commissioned me. I say "had" because if not then are taken and I saw my dream fade to sign the national team. I tried, I'll try again. Too bad that does not pass from Bologna often these great characters.
you sure that is a great woman.

The other is a reflection on grammar, oozing misogyny. In Italian
if there are two names, one male and one female, to become masculine plural. We all know it is. The female is simply something that is formed in part, an abstraction, a diversity of speech.

In Arabic the situation is much worse. The study by two months, at very erratic. Now began to immerse myself in the grammar, very complicated. Today in class
Prof has repeatedly stated that if the noun PLURAL COVERS NOT BE A THINKING, NOT HUMAN, not rational, then the adjective and pronouns and the whole sentence to easily take the Ladies Singles.

In other words: for objects, not human, we use the feminine. For convenience.

And I'm here to remind us that there are forms for the second and third persons separate women.

Discrimination is a cultural thing. Even the linguistic patterns it shows.

I feel a little 'structuralist, but I think if the language change, change a little' heads also.
