Thanks for the link! I'm going to have to check out the rest of these, too!<BR/><BR/>And T.R., I honestly don't think the story is in the banning of the words (except in the case of mayoress and manageress, because seriously, people <I>used</I> those words?) but in the absurd reactions people have had, as if <I>calling a woman by her name</I> is going to destroy society.elorianehttp://gendergoggles.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-65963556928642428532009-03-19T16:02:00.000-04:002009-03-19T16:02:00.000-04:00No problem Renee! <BR/><BR/>T.R, it is unexpected, but I think it's great. Things won't change overnight, of course, and changing what something is officially called doesn't change opinions in that way... but I think it's a step in the right direction and acknowledging the issue of gendered language in a clear way.frau sally benzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01054413520223145494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291200544675330796.post-88043811423156214352009-03-19T10:54:00.000-04:002009-03-19T10:54:00.000-04:00Huh, that article on the EU banning miss &amp; mrs (and all the other words, nice) is really interesting...I think I agree mostly with Eloriane&#39;s analysis but it&#39;s still kind of...unexpected, I guess. The reactions it provoked are killing me though.T.
