Documenting the erasure of the words woman and girl in NZ public life.
Here is another writer who notes that although women are erased, men are still acknowledged: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/the-problem-with-adding-more-ink
I see that Dr Ute Keplin, whilst allergic to using the word ‘women’, foes not have the same allergic reaction to using the word ‘men’.
I enjoy getting older because I know who I am, I know myself. I also know that just because I no longer menstruate I am not a pre pubescent girl a boy or a man. I am female, I'm a woman.
The tactic of simply using the passive voice and not mentioning women, assuming a woman will just decipher it somehow is insidious.
