6 months agoYour examples of female-based neutral words are pejorative. Do you have examples not rooted in misogyny?
My username references one of my favorite literary characters, the gentleman with the thistledown hair from Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
My avatar is a goblin with long, scraggly hair who looks upward timidly with voluminous eyes.
Your examples of female-based neutral words are pejorative. Do you have examples not rooted in misogyny?
“Queen” by itself refers to either women or gay men. It is not gender neutral. “Drama queen” is applied to all genders, but, again, this example is pejorative toward women. Do you have any examples of women-centric language that can refer to all genders, but that is not negative toward women?
