Bespin 8,480 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I don't understand the use of "female" in this context. Maybe I will never understand english... It would be impossible to name an event like this in french, because we have the same words... "Mâle" et "Femelle"... but we don't use them describe men and women in such context. Impossible. Please tell me, it's maybe... a bit... poorly worded? Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,353 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 No, it's not poorly worded, and the context is not ambiguous. The event will feature a discussion panel of 5 female composers. Holly Amber Church is one of them. The next one is being announced tomorrow. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Why don't use "women"? Or "feminine composers"? The female of the chicken is the hen, that's the correct way to use "female", from my "french" point of view. English is an idiot language.

Popular Post toothless 963 Posted September 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 While I agree I don’t always understand the use of some words in English, I’m always trying to stay humble when I remember French is a hell of a Wtf language 😂 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CS4UJxyj3mk/ Bespin, blondheim and Smeltington 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with the word "women" in this context is that it is a noun and not an adjective, unlike "female", so that the expression "women composers" feels grammatically awkward. "Female composers", while grammatically sound, has a slightly odd euphemistic feeling to it so...swings and roundabouts! "Feminine composers" doesn't exactly mean what was intended.

Bespin 8,480 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's the price to pay for having "evolved" to a non gendered grammatical language I guess. French did not follow this fashion, fortunately or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
