14 February 2019 - mowan and mefale

“Woman” and “female” are formed to look as though they were derived from “man” and “male” by adding unusual prefixes. The effect is that “man” and “male” come up more often in word games, and as Daily Whale readers know, nothing is more important than word games. The correction, or fixative, is new male words. I suggest the natural reversals, not too binary for the gender-fluid age, “mowan” and “mefale”.
