Continue our efforts to spread the use of non-sexist language anche nel commercio. Tempo fa abbiamo segnalato alla direzione dell’Esselunga (catena di supermercati) che nel loro Prontospesa (una macchinetta per agevolare le compere) appariva sia per donne che per uomini la scritta BenvenutO. La scritta è stata modificata in Buonaspesa (la documentazione con le foto è nel nostro blog). Ora proponiamo la stessa iniziativa alla catena di distribuzione COOP perché sulla sua macchinetta Salvatempo compare la scritta BenvenutO sia per donne che per uomini.
Perché ci sembra importante questo genere di azioni? Perché scrivere BenvenutO signora Lucia..è uno dei tanti quotidiani modi di fare un errore di grammatica e di “occultare” la nostra presence even in areas such as supermarkets, where there are no equal opportunity household tasks and we are very much on a daily basis. This kind of intervention is part of our practice of "search and find" before the sexist language, even the title of our exhibition in Pisa to the woman's house in May 2010.
Send letter to the co-op in October 2010
