در زبان فارسی جدایی جنسی وجود نداره. مثلا "او" شامل زن و مرد میشه. برخلاف زبانهای لاتین و عربی.
اگر جایی تاکید بر جنسیت باشه، در زبان فارسی، اولویت با زنهاست. بر خلاف زبانهای لاتین و اروپایی.
ما میگیم زن و شوهر بجای husband and wife.
ما میگیم خواهر و برادر ، بجای brother and sister.
ما میگیم زن و مرد، بجای men and women.
حتی ما میگیم زن و شوهر. یعنی مرد در ارتباط با همسر هویت (شوهر) پیدا میکنه. ولی هویت (زن) دست نمیخوره. و اسم فامیلی زن هم بعد از ازدواج عوض نمیشه.
بجای اینکه بگیم man and wife.
ما نمیگیم mankind. میگیم بشریت.
ما هرگز در تاریخ و ادبیاتمون به جنسیت اهمیت ندادیم.
اگر جایی لازم شده، زنان را در اولویت قرار دادیم.
حتی در زبان فارسی، (زن) یک واژه و مفهوم مستقله. نه مثل wo/man. زائده ای کنار مرد.
ما، ملتی نبودیم که الان هستیم.

The Little Prince - On friends
"It would have been better to come back at the same hour," said the fox. "If, for example, you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then at three o'clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o'clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . ."
روباه گفت:
کاش سر همان ساعت دیروز آمده بودی.
اگر مثلا سر ساعت چهار بعد از ظهر بیایی من از ساعت سه تو دلم قند آب می شود و هر چه ساعت جلوتر برود بیش تر احساس شادی و خوشبختی می کنم.
ساعت چهار که شد دلم بنا می کند شور زدن و نگران شدن.
آن وقت است که به تو نشان خواهم داد چقد خوشبختم!
امّا اگر تو وقت و بی وقت بیایی من از کجا بدانم چه ساعتی باید دلم را برای دیدارت آماده کنم؟!
هر چیزی برای خودش رسم و رسومی دارد.
