Why is a pain in the ass boring and something cool is great? Why do fox, sow, lizard and endless similar terms mean "whore" and in the masculine only refer to the animal in question? The language we use in our daily lives reflects the pejorative connotation that words have when they are feminine. This book aims to show this reality by offering countless very common examples, which we all know, and which we have possibly never stopped to reflect on. Of course, the book is not a pain in the ass: it is funny, full of irony and self-confidence, and it is not a dense or reproachful speech. But, yes, it sends a very clear message: the language we speak every day not only describes a reality, but also modifies it. Because through internalizing all these derogatory definitions, we also internalize all the bad things that a woman is supposed to be. A book for all kinds of readers that will make you think (and also) have a fun time.
