Why do we always have to re-invent the wheel of language? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When English is neither your first nor your second language, this re-invention can become too complex, especially for deer’s brains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it always make sense to replace words by others? Or add new linguistic items?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it is not an added pronoun after a name, it is a cancelled noun or verb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can we do this, if\/when needed, without falling into absurdity or what looks like collective insanity… or stupidity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could we do it without seeming to insult the target we are referring to (i.e., women), like in the example below, ironically while defending their rights?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post is specifically about a linguistic change related to women, which is being used by a woman about her fellow women. Not any woman, mind you. An American politician, as you can see below, thanks to a tweet by Dr. Mathieu Bock-C\u00f4t\u00e9:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi is wondering about the above, ahead of Mothers’ Day or… according to Ms. Hong, “Birthing bodies” day :). As a part of the 1% of women who have had recurrent miscarriages, defined as three or more, she finds this term even more absurd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude this post on a musical and light note, if she may, here are two songs from Bambi to this American politician, even without knowing her :)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
