De la anatema simbolică la anatema care discriminează
From the Symbolic to the Discriminative Anathema

Summary/Abstract: The underlying trends of Romanian public language are still sexist and patriarchal. Media keeps describing women as social objects of a society in which men have the symbolic power, despite an increasing gender equalization of skills in the public sphere. Moreover, the patriarchal stereotypes used in whatever education shape women's conservative self image. Gender discrimination is thus "helped" by a self discriminative tendency of women themselves. This issue will attempt to reveal by ironical, descriptive and analytic articles, the dimension of gender discrimination within the Romanian public language. One might think that these realistic witnesses suggest s topic for a liberal reflection upon women's moral status. So far, it remains only a matter of theoretical debate.
