I'm afraid I didn't get a lot of that, as I know nothing about French... :-{

But the fact is, we live in a patriarchal society. This does not bother me. It does not bother me that "humanity" has the word "man" in it. I am not offended by this in anyway. Some people are, apparently. I don't get this at all. I don't get why people would think that this is *important.* I don't at all understand how someone can think changing "mailman" to "postal worker" solves anything. It only clutters up the language and makes everything more awkward. It's not going to change the fact that our society was and is patriarchal and, in most cases, male oriented.

Am I making any sense? I know I can trust what people *here* say, unlike the responses I've gotten elsewhere. :-P
