I couldn’t see this article posted but this is a great starting point for anyone who still believes that women should be ok with giving up their words to understand that it is actually not ok. And those who are of the belief that all meanings change and it always is a good thing.
I first noticed it decades ago when the word ‘war’ become a catch all catchphrase. It felt like it was devaluing words in the constant attempt to grab more headlines.
Now it really feels more pervasive. And the legal and political ramifications are disturbing. What Konstantin says about the word ‘safety’ also struck a chord.
So thank you Konstantin. If you read this, would you approach your interview with Kellie-Jay differently if you did it this week vs 2019.
