They avoid learning at school but somehow know everything, those activists. Here is one: a feminist angry at the English language.
“he” is a direct descendant of Old English hē from a Proto-Indo-European root for “this,” while “she” likely evolved from a different Old English source, the feminine demonstrative pronoun seo (“the,” “that”).
“male” comes from Old French “masle”. “female” comes also from Old French “femella”. They have nothing in common.
“human” derives from “ghomon” in Proto-Indo-European, which meant an earthy being in contrast to heavenly beings. “persona” in latin comes from Etruscan for “mask” – used to give identity to theatre performers.
