נאריש זשלאָב מענטש<p>"Sacred <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jewish</span></a> texts almost always refer to God using masculine imagery and grammar. God is routinely referred to with <a href="https://babka.social/tags/male" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>male</span></a> metaphors — Father, Lord, King — and with male pronouns. <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Hebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hebrew</span></a> being a <a href="https://babka.social/tags/gendered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gendered</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a>, references to God are nearly always conjugated with masculine verbs and pronouns. The standard formulation for a Jewish blessing, Barukh atah adonai (Blessed are you God), uses the male form of you (atah) and refers to God as melekh (king). Some texts even explicitly refer to God as a man, perhaps most famously Exodus 15:3: “God is a man of war.” This is true despite the fact that mainstream Jewish <a href="https://babka.social/tags/theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theology</span></a> does not believe God has a body or a <a href="https://babka.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a>. </p><p>In recent decades, Jewish <a href="https://babka.social/tags/feminists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminists</span></a> have argued that not only is this language inconsistent with the Jewish understanding of what God is (and is not), but it also reifies the second-class status <a href="https://babka.social/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>women</span></a> have long occupied in Jewish life."</p><p><a href="https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/alternatives-to-masculine-god-language/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">myjewishlearning.com/article/a</span><span class="invisible">lternatives-to-masculine-god-language/</span></a></p>

Josh M | Wham<p>Closed captioning conundrum </p><p>Recently watch star@wars, rise of skywalker. During a battle scene, closed captioning quoted “stormtrooper” and “female stormtrooper” …</p><p>While the arguement could be made that this is due to the origin of stormtroopers being from a male genetic clone line, it doesn’t seem to make sense from a viewer aid. </p><p>If you are going to gender a faceless, armored foe one way, why not both? Or are we depending on an assumption that most armored humans are male… (not what I think) </p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/closedcaption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>closedcaption</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/gendered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gendered</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/stormtroopers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stormtroopers</span></a></p>

sunflowerinrain<p>Musing on <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/pronouns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pronouns</span></a> was triggered by conversation with an English friend who was bemused by the idea that some <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>languages</span></a> don't have <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/gendered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gendered</span></a> pronouns. Not sure said friend believed me. <br>Considering that language influences thought, I wonder if people whose language has gendered <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/nouns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nouns</span></a> are less sensitive to it? When your table and chair are female and your plate is male, perhaps it i s less meaningful. <br>Also, the USian obsession with segregated bathrooms doesn't hold in France.</p>
