  • Also interesting because in German progressive/queer feminist groups use the term

    “Weiblich gelesen” (literal: read female, meaning: assumed to be female)

    If we want to refer to someone who looks like a women by conservative standards but about whom we don’t know if they actually identify as a women.

    “Weib” (degrading term for “women/wife” derived from the word “weiblich” (female)) on the other hand is considered very rude and only used by conservative/sexist people.

    Just find it interesting which words are differently connotated in which language.
