"Language is a powerful factor in socialization. If children hear femininitives, they will understand that there is a place for all of them wherever they want. They will develop without the burden of such stereotypes as: philology and marriage are for a girl, and physics and career are for a boy. Those people who say that no matter what gender a person is in the profession, should first use femininitives to show young people that really, no matter what gender you are, you can try yourself in different professions. After all, the names of jobs (professions) in the Ukrainian language are for both men and women! ” Olena Masalitina tells interesting stories about feminitives.
