I have a regulation that I don't take part in social media bullshit out of respect for my intellectual health. But erstwhile I broke it and got into a discussion with a writer from my then editorial board about including women in language.
My opponent lamented the parliamentary left – that after her absence she returned to the Sejm and alternatively of dealing with alleged crucial matters (for example the rightful j******m of the PiS), raises the request to usage the word "messenger" alternatively of the good old "messenger".
As you can imagine, everything happened in 2019. At that time, 20 recently elected parliamentarians asked the head of the Chancellery of the Sejm to include their sex in documents, ballots and plaques indicating the seats in the plenary.
I learned then that my editorial colleague – possibly I should skip the fresh speech and compose “your colleague” – although she was raised for respective generations of feminists, so sex equality is no fresh thing for her, she cannot stand the “infantilism of women” fighting for feminists.
Cleaning lady, right?
Lefties and their bullshit? New, I didn't. But I do realize that in female forms we do not patch the gap in the budget or solve global conflicts. This, however, does not mean that politics in all aspect is to be man-centric. And that's where it leads. language andrcentricism, who, as the Polishman Mateusz Adamczyk said to me, "is a fact and it is worth noting, to think, and consequently to act in specified a way as to equalize this generic-sex asymmetry" – even symbolically.
Language not only reflects, but besides affects reality – linguist and linguist (not only Sapir and Whorf) have analysed this thoroughly for the last 100 years. But I'm certain I'll hear that words and symbols are just... words and symbols. But if that were the case, we could say, for example, that all the ambaras with the ban on swastika or the word ‘m’ is unnecessary.
However, Nazism and racism – at least officially – do not swallow as easy as sexism, although all frequently lead to people- including feminicide, and at best to social exclusion.
It just so happens that feminists relating to little paid professions, specified as cleaners and teachers, do not shock anyone. The same is actual of creative professions, due to the fact that art or amusement are little crucial than discipline or politics. So no 1 calls you an artist or your singer. The professor, surgeon, and minister, however, are more hard to get through.
PiS MPs fight paper feminism
I thought that the final of this short inba about the feminist ended on Facebook with the appearance of the “miss journalist” of what is and what is not. You're not going to be talking to an experienced worker like you say and making equality. But erstwhile I listened to the first minute of the conference – attention – MP of Law and Justice a fewer days ago, I felt that possibly in the feudal war any conflict was won. The right was afraid of female endings like the devil of holy water.
Just moments before PiS women spoke, Elżbieta Witek objected to TVN writer for asking for a candidacy for "Vice-Marshalkinia". The politician's guess was most likely that she wanted to be referred to as a deputy marshal, which she did not add in the conversation, and in effect she did not stay in any—either male or female form—called for this post. According to her colleagues in the Sejm jury, sex was crucial here.
The decision to block the candidacy of Witek was made at the first parliamentary gathering in the fresh term, which led during the break by the MPs (as Marlena Maląg presented them) from the Jarosław Kaczyński organization to share a reflection with journalists on "the alleged democratic opposition". They pointed out that they were appearing at the conference deliberately as women to argue the paper feminism of their political opponents.
Well, they didn't usage the word "f" and actually only partially apologized to the feminists. They began utilizing them cynically, selectively – they simply knew something about propaganda and did a lesson in electoral mathematics, according to which women raised attendance and more frequently voted for democratic opposition.
A minute later, then, parliamentarians appeared. The malag explained to the media who actually won the October elections. "We – 194 PiS Members". In a word, erstwhile we win, we are powerful men. erstwhile we are defeated – persecuted women.
Ladies of the Law and Justices know how to talk out to defend women's interests while being profoundly respected. Quasi-feminist, selective approach is that they should only scope for arguments of discrimination on grounds of sex if the opponent needs to be whacked.
And the opponent, especially the right-wing one, only that the centre placed closer than the PiS, "by the bottom-up civilian force learned that women could no longer be ignored in their stories about Poland". Especially if you want to win the election.
There's been a change.
So it cannot be said that nothing has changed since 2019. PiS women tightened abortion laws, and men from the Platform according to Tusk's pre-election declarations were to liberalize them. Has the planet gone to its head?
Not necessarily: it's an old-fashioned mechanism, especially if we look at what governments in the West have promoted access to abortion – right-wing, though not the most utmost ones. Being a female doesn't mean that everything you contact is feminist. Moreover, among us there are plenty of patriarchal guards who defend him more than the default beneficiaries of oppression. any do it on purpose. Guess what squad Kaczyński's organization friends are on.
In this case, intentions are secondary. Not due to the fact that everything about this organization I consider to be wrong, just due to the fact that its messengers form a planet that harms weaker women (and men) than them, although they themselves have small thought of these harms.
The same is actual of Confederate representatives I've been writing recently.that "they would have worked well in the matriarchate, although it is for feminists seeking sex equality to be accused of specified ambitions" and which benefit from the conquests of the emancipators, criticising them today, fighting on patriarchal barricades following. Do political careers, privileged PiS women disagree from Confederates?
So don't be amazed at my snorkeling as the politicians fight for Witek's chair at the same time about the rights of Poles, broken by the civilian Coalition and the Left. Or erstwhile MP Joanna Borowiak points to the hypocrisy of the opposition, due to the fact that before Tusk and Czarzasta's election they spoke about "the function and respect of women in politics", and now they refused to "a large female with a beautiful card of anti-communist oppositionist" as the deputy marshal. "On these values, PO, KO and Left politicians built their campaign, i.e. they tricked society. They cheated on a immense crowd of women" – she continued her pseudofeminist laurel for her friend Borowiak who was defeated in the Sejm.
I was clearing the Platform and left-wing tenors with respect to women's rights before it was fashionable. And yes, I'm as pissed as anyone can say that the marshal's crew is male. But in the pro-feminine anger of the group that poured tankers of oil into the fire in the hell of Poles, I don't believe at all. “This upsets us as parliamentarians, as Law and Justice, but above all as women,” said Joanna Borowiak Marlena Maląg, betraying in this conviction completely that there was no equal revolution on the sinking ship of that power.
So there are no feminists, although they do not decide whether you have managed to board a feminist deck. Surely, however, they are thrown overboard erstwhile they are depreciated, stubborn, and publically opposed to utilizing them. And it just so happens that the MPs, specified as Annie April, taking part in an alleged sister conference, and speaking alongside Maląg and Borowiak did not prevent TVN24 reporters from throwing out a fewer hours later: “Jesus, with this woman MP. Please. I am the Member. It is in the rules, find yourselves.”
