See all formats and editions

Breaking the Patriarchal Code exposes the bias in many Indo-European languages and English.

The bias is a subtle, hidden agenda that imposes the idea of male divinity and superiority promoting male dominance leading to political gain, violence, and control of others.

Using the tools of linguistic comparative and quantitative analysis, Ms. Goueffic examines ten thousand items of speech invented to describe the world according to the male's desire to control the mind in order to control sex.

The code is examined using about eleven categories to show the repetitious nature of the bias.

Ms. Goueffic suggests positive ways of getting out of the bias and proposes a theory of inclusiveness that is practical, true to reality, and easily implemented.
