Socialists don’t waste anytime demolishing cultures.

Weaponizing language is one of their favorite means.

They are also accepting refugees that Italy rejected, extending free medical care to illegals and taking down the razor wire that was keeping Africans from climbing the fence keeping them out of Spanish territory. All this in a country with 16% unemployment, the least educated workforce in Western Europe and a staggering amount of debt. At the same time there are massive protests against tourists that bring in much needed cash. Bizarre behavior to say the least.

It’s very hard for the left to decide what to do with a language such as Spanish, French, etc where nouns have genders. Strangely enough, feminists in the English speaking world shrieked about the few sex-differentiated terms in English, such as actress or poetess, and got them eliminated. At the same time, Europe’s feminists were screaming about the fact that traditionally, a term such as judge or mayor (juez or alcalde in Spanish) didn’t reflect the sex of the holder, so they demanded the introduction of “jueza,” or “ alcaldesa,” feminine genders of the titles. (Actually, in Spanish, these terms existed but they were honorary titles for the wife of the mayor or official - LOL.)

In any case, since every noun has a gender in a language with genders, these people are now going nuts trying to remake their very language to reflect their political obsessions.
