Robert E. Lee Quote
They do not know what they say. If it came to a conflict of arms, the war will last at least four years. Northern politicians will not appreciate the determination and pluck of the South, and Southern politicians do not appreciate the numbers, resources, and patient perseverance of the North. Both sides forget that we are all Americans. I foresee that our country will pass through a terrible ordeal, a necessary expiation, perhaps, for our national sins.
HE WO MAN FE MALE HU MAN PER SON visuatpoery "swofehuper" by richard tipping (via] men fabricated the idea that they are the default sex to compensate for their biological inferiority and general superfluousness this is not just the "natural order" this is the language of a patriarchal culture rhysiare 'Omg no, you are vrong on so many levels and as a linguist this makes me ache something terible. In my linguistics lass in undergrad, we actually made fun of people who think ike you along these lines and for good reason, bbecause you are wholly ignorant and are choosing to spin narratives about things and fields which you know completely nothing about yet pretend you do. 41, She: This word evolved naturally from Old English from seasheo which were just words to refer to feminine -female people evolving from Proto- 'Germanic words meaning 'thallthere'. He as a word evolved from the 'same ideas but Proto-Germanic words for 'thishere'. Your idea of "patriarchal language' further falls apart when you compare this part of English to other Germanic languages, of which English is related, the words in German for he and she are "er" and 'sie', completely unrelated. Soiitis by dear happenstance, not some patriarchal conspiracy that the words "he" and 'she" in English have similar form, 2. Woman: Oh god this one always gats my goat when people go for this 'one. Man did not used to mean "male", man used to 'mean being', the old words in Old English for male adult person and female adult person were "werman" and "wifman" respectively, vie can see this relation in words lke werewolf and wife as being the remnants of the base "wer" and the base "wif". Woman evolved phonologically from the word "wifman' by natural processes where the 'T sound dropped and the became lax. Man dropped its "Wer" stem for reasons mostly unknown but can guarantee have 'nothing to do with "patriarchy" because phonological change has no basis in that 3. Female: Male and Female actually come etymolagically from two 'completely diferent words. Male comes from Old French "masle" which 'meant masculine, while Female came from Old French as well "femella" which meant young woman, This is another case, just lke he and she, where the words coincidentally ended up looking sila without having any direct correlation in historical linguistic processes to make them as such, 4, Human: This word etymologically derives from Proto-Indo- European "ghomon" which means earthly being as opposed to heavenly 'being which would refer to gods. You have some small glimmer of hope herein that the word does eventually branch off into the word for 'man' in some languages but this is stil too small of a precedent to base any conspiratorial thinking ike you are doing off of. 5, Person: This one offends me the most, simply because love the fuck 'out of Etruscan language and your continued ignorance just ks me at this point. Person derives from "persona' from Latin which meant the same meaning, which ultimately derived from "phersu" Etruscan for mask' as Etruscans would often have theatre performers use masks to give identity to the performers. So never once did "person" have any 'meaning to do with "son". So yes, this the 'natural order" or language. lease naver proselytise your fully ideology and misanerist thinking within 'speaking about viord origins and morphology again, as unless you actually do - iFunny
