<<feminine language>> I submit that such a phrase is nonsense. And dangerous nonsense, not harmless: once you define such a thing doesn't it become a confinement? If the f.v. is appropriate for suckling babes & childbirth can it be appropriate for genocide & the depredations of free trade? The problem with defining such a voice is that it automatically falls into line with the ruling ideas concerning masculine & feminine.
