Brewer and stove: the feminists at the stake
Feminists of all stripes have managed the unthinkable challenge of restoring dignity to women who were, for centuries, considered very inferior to men. Their struggle has brought fruit, and I say this with great happiness. Nobody doubts today that the woman is quite the equal of man.
But in our European and Western society, it is fighting a rearguard quite useless puff of energy for nothing and those who make ridiculous (especially those) who are fighting.
An example? The feminization of job titles, imposed not by use, but by politicians. Great thinkers stand against this nonsense. And Jacqueline de Romilly, in an interview published this week in Le Vif L'Express said to be hostile to this feminization. Imagine
all possible meanings of this simple sentence:

But if that same Black, Moroccan, Jewish, homosexual is really dumb or stupid, why can not I say it loud and clear? To believe that one can not say someone is stupid or silly if it is white, European, Christian and heterosexual.
Where is the line between the politically correct and politically incorrect?
