The League withdraws the bill to ban the use of feminine characters in public documents
Valente (Pd): «This right believes in the patriarchal model of society and continually demonstrates it»
The League withdraws the bill to ban the use of feminine characters in public documents.
It has been withdrawn bill advanced by a senator of the League which provided for the prohibition of the use of the feminine gender in public documents “for neologisms applied to institutional titles” including “mayor” o “lawyer”.
“The League specifies that Senator Manfredi Potenti's proposal is a completely personal initiative. The party leaders, starting from the group leader in the Senate Massimiliano Romeo, do not agree with what is reported in the Potenti bill whose text does not in any way reflect the line of the League which has already asked for its immediate withdrawal".
«The League forced Northern League senator Manfredi Potenti to withdraw the bill “Provisions for the protection of the Italian language, with respect to gender differences” thanks to the protests of all the oppositions. We are obviously happy about it, but I say to everyone: let's not underestimate the problem", says the Democratic Party senator Valeria Valente.
«It was a serious event, not a ridiculous or anti-historic initiative - goes on -. Thinking that the feminine declension of institutional or professional names corrupts the Italian language and for this reason also foreseeing heavy fines reveals a very specific thought: that is, that women in public life are a frill to be erased and that the male and chauvinist system is the point of reference for everyone, the neutral of male subjectivity that encompasses everything. This right believes in the patriarchal model of society and demonstrates it continuously: on abortion, on female employment, on the family. Let's not let our guard down, because change starts from language."
