About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 26.

For example, they feel that it is insulting to use the masculine gender for a female professional, for example calling a woman le medecin (the doctor). They feel this would imply that women change gender or became somehow more manly when t...
