Notes on Language and Woman's Place by Robin Lakoff:

1. Use the word "groovy" more.

2. [From annotations] "Academic males as effete. My male colleagues didn't like this passage much then, and they probably still don't. Some of them affect hypermasculine forms as if to deny the imputation, dropping g's and using multiple negatives and cusswords

#3 reminds me of 'herstory' and 'womyn'

[superabo]

"Herstory," yes. "Womyn," not as much, since this changes an artifcat that actually does have gendered origin.

[g4rth]

We should make "artifcat" a word. Right now.
