Corriere della Sera: the letter of the day 20/03/2010

receive and publish willingly and what do you think?

The letter of the day women for traditionally male professions and also explained how to do and what forms are to be avoided because it ironic or pejorative: the forms in 'it', so to speak, except for doctor and teacher, now in common usage. Therefore: the chairman, the advocate (remember the Salve Regina), the money, etc.. And the minister, yes! The use of male forms, especially for important positions seems like a trap for feminists who confuse equal rights with equality: we are not equal, for goodness sake! So much so that everyone says' the Director of the Unit Concita De Gregorio, "but" the director of the Mariuccia Carla Rossi. " Why? Because an editor is important, and therefore male, while directing a nursery of babies is the stuff of women, even from little women?

Dear Madam, when Susanna Agnelli was elected to the Senate, wanted to be called the senator, no senator. When he became secretary refused to be named undersecretary. And when she was invited to direct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dini government in 1995-1996, would be a minister, no minister. I have never attended a meeting of the City Council of Monte Argentario, but I'm sure if someone had called the mayor or mayoress, would be angry. His choice seemed right for two reasons. Firstly, because the names of trades and professions are now in many cases substantially neutral. Second, because some adjustments to the women I have always seemed terribly cacophonous. But there is one observation in his letter that I found particularly interesting. While some jobs have always been defined with a male name, for others it was quickly coined a name for women. I think a teacher, professor, doctor, director, ambassador, president, student, student, committed, secretary, cashier, seller, waitress, cook, worker, nurse. It is therefore impossible to create for each trade or profession as a female gender. But this is generally the case especially when the woman is called to play a "feminine". Until directed childcare, care of the sick, serving at the table, preparing dishes in the kitchen, teaches students at a school or is sitting behind a cash register, the woman is entitled to a female name. Until the female lays its status as a wife, nothing prohibits the use of an ambassador or president. But when the profession has traditions of men, men prefer that their colleague is called a notary, lawyer, CEO, prefect, deputy, senator. And some women, as we saw in the case of Susanna Agnelli, is in the game. Obviously this is not right. If the rule applies for certain occupations must also apply to others. But ultimately, my dear Madam, the choice is up to women, who, at this moment, I seem to oscillate between different solutions. As for me I am ready to use the word that best suits their tastes, even when my ear hurts. © SERGIO ROMANO
