WOMAN, WOMEN
Archaic and extremely inappropriate term referring to the egg producing gender of a species. As ANGLISH is a language which does not allow for GENDER DOMINANCE the words FEMALE or WOMAN (as sub-sets of Male or Man) do not exist. In ANGLISH the egg producing gender is termed MATRIS as a variation on MATRIARCH.
It has been argued that had the American Feminist Movement of the mid to late 20th Century focused their efforts early on to get the US Congress to define the words "MAN" or "MEN" as abbrev of "HUMAN" thus confirming the inherent inclusiveness of the phrases and therefore constitutionally guaranteeing that the phrase "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL" would include all HUMANS rather than emphasizing the exclusive gender dominant meaning of the word through the replacement of the terms "MAN" and "MEN" with the terms "PERSON" and "PEOPLE" that much of the legal difficulty they faced in both public opinion and the courts would not have occurred. A counter argument reinforces that without pursuing the exclusive approach taken the feminist movement would not have been so successful in their subjugation of PATRIS (the seed producing gender) in reproductive and child support issues that have taken the World Courts over 200 hundred years to re-balance so that PATRIS could be viewed in the courts as more than just a source of financial support.
