The sum of names, symbols, words and sounds make up what we call language. When names carry lies or are used as a “divide conquer and control” tool, these are embedded violence in language. This is evil.
We have a tendency to take language for granted. We believe language is set for all time. Nothing could be further from the truth.
To “divide conquer and control” the two genders of the species, it had to begin by making them enemies of each other. Manu of the Hindi in 2400BCE subjugated one gender to the other BY LAW. Language developed with the law in mind. Patriarchal Language embedded violence in language, evil, to succeed.
So when violence is defined only by its physical aspect and consequences one of the effects is that it becomes gendered. It divides the genders into victim - and perpetrator. Most violence is divided this way. Divide people to conquer and control them is the patriarchal philosophy of “divide conquer and control.”
This is the bottom line: everyone, that is, both genders receive and learn the same language. So both genders learn the language and philosophy of “divide conquer and control.”
The conclusion: if the language is not changed the aims and attitudes will not change. Violence has to be fought on the whole definition that includes both mental and physical violence by both genders working together. Exclude one and failure is almost surely guaranteed.
