She defines true-to-reality language and proposes a theory of inclusiveness using true-to-reality language that benefits both genders.

Advance Praise
Louise Goueffic's 'An Inconvenient Lie' is a must read for all concerned about our planet and what it means to be a member of our species today."Enough is enough" she says. Her detailed analysis of our symbols shows how, and with what consequences, our language has advanced the interests of only one-half of the species: patriarchy. The other "fem" is made absent, invisible, less than equal, an appendage, a plaything. Goueffic exposes these mind games in order to reveal what is at work and to make present these absences. Only when we learn to think for ourselves, she argues, will we have the basis for a more equal and genuine flourishing society.
