misogyny in linguistics

everything containing “ 女 “ (female) in chinese character etymology means something negative, cunning, devious, dark, or to indicate a servant. studying and knowing all those characters sickens me to the core. confuscianism furthered this in east asia weakening women’s rights - before confuscianism, korean dynasties had female kings and some property rights. 

though we often use different chinese characters in each cases, china - korea - japan 

screenshots source

the origin of the “female” character is a woman kneeling 

in other explanations in confuscian texts, it says it is an image of a person kneeling with their neck in a pillory

on the contrary, the letters for “man”  男 is a person with the power  力 to  feed 10  十 (shi) 口 (gou) mouths= family

Wife as housemaid

a woman outside a home(under her husband) is not safe

women with other women are always plotting

a man is allowed to have multiple wives, especially if she does not bear children: but he does not generally need justification. a women should never be jealous, jealousy (contains chinese character for female) is one of the 7 sins that husbands could banish, or beat their wives for

women + hands = servant

add fire onto the mix of the same characters of “servant”, you got “anger”

a lot of negative emotions in chinese characters are associated with symbols of women

“Power” : women subjugated under a weapon

fraught mentions of female inferiority

남존여비 is a word often brought up in korean culture, as in males are precious and respectable “ 尊 ” and females are inferior by birth “  卑 “ . Men are high, women are low. Gentlemen comes first

https://bild-lida.ca/educationalsociolinguistics/uncategorized/womens-oppression-and-chinese-characters/

嫌 for extreme “hate” = women 

adultery =  dark cunning thing that women do

not all chinese characters with “women” have bad meanings! Some have positive meanings soch as detailing women’s looks or her docility

there are few if not zero chinese characters with  the male “ 男 “ used inside a character contrary to the female “ 女 “ as a descriptor.

Shit like this leads to the empty plate syndrom. You guys. If you are full and you are having a hard time forcing yourself to eat more, then It defeats the purpose. Food is supposed to be good for you!! If you are eating out of anxiety thats not healthy at all!

Eating by force is another way to waste food, specially when you can just save the leftovers for later. The fridge and the microwave were invented for a reason!!

They tell you to finish the plate even when you dont feel like It, they even guilt you into it by telling you of others who are going hungry and THEN when you are craving a snack they shame you and berate you for It and tell you you are eating too much and you need to watch your diet.

Do you think that's healthy? NO WONDER PEOPLE HAVE FUCKING ISSUES

Specially related to food

EAT IT!

Don’t let your food be only on the plate. JUST EAT IT! EAT IT!

one of my favourite running jokes in masters of rome is when publius rutilius rufus comes up with the phrase 'an iliad of woes' and then various other characters steal it from him and he gets more and more pissed off about it. especially since as far as i am aware the earliest extant use of the phrase is in cicero's letters? which means. in colleen mccullough's beautiful world cicero is just one in a fifty year long line of people stealing it. you know publius rutilius rufus' ghost is seething

King Zeus, give us fine things whether we pray for them or not; Keep from us woes, even if we ask them. Ζεῦ βασιλεῦ, τὰ μὲν ἐσθλὰ καὶ εὐχομένοις καὶ ἀνεύκτοις ἄμμι δίδου: τὰ δὲ λυγρὰ καὶ εὐχομένων ἀπερύκοις. -Anth. Pal. 10.108 ~ [Plato], Alcibiades II 143a
