Welcome To Our SiteIn 2400BCE Manu put slavery into law establishing patriarchy as a legal system at the same time. From patriarchy came slavery and feudalism until 1843ACE. Patriarchy had 4000 years to shape language and made it fit patriarchal systems to guarantee patriarchal power, wealth and control into ‘eternity’. We admit it is no fun exposing the lies, but we know that doing so brings many truths into the light of day that everyone needs to know to live a better easier and happier life. We know lies became cherished beliefs. We know that lies are inconvenient lies and add strife to life. We know that life does not need to be made harder, poorer and desperate. In bringing the many truths into the light of day we realize that it will make many angry, sad or uncomfortable. We are sorry for this. But if one reflects upon the truths it brings about the quietest sense of self ever thought possible. We invite you to seriously consider our work and buy our books. Lose a lie, win truths. It’s win/win for all. Louise Gouëffic's ResearchLies and secrets in languageAuthor Louise Gouëffic, B.A., B.Ed., has done graduate studies in France, and for 30 years has collected, categorized, and analyzed 20,000 words across the Indo-European tradition, addressing our species and its two members: male and fe-male. The words she analyzed were gleaned from hundreds of dictionaries worldwide. Louise looked at the etymology, historical background, purpose, meaning, messages, aims, goals, generative use, cross-cultural borrowings, and modern usage of these words. She analyzed recurrent themes and recurrent linguistic techniques used in language. From this research came her first book.
Breaking the Patriarchal Code: The Linguistic Basis of Sexual Bias,1996, Knowledge, Ideas and Trends, Manchester, Connecticut. In this book, Gouëffic lists 10,000 words and shows the linguistic formulas and techniques used to make dominance appear to be "the way it is."
